It is not a bad thing on its own, but we have to consider which
additional actions are useful.

Jonathan brought up the following very long term vision:
Eventually the everyday git commands do not treat submodules
any special than trees, even the submodules git directory
may be non existent (everything is absorbed into the superproject);
so it really feels like a monorepo.
When you want to work on a submodule individually, you have to
make a new working tree.
