Fantastic.... worked perfectly.  I'll write that down somewhere for
the next time I do it :)

Is there a better way of handling sub-modules like that? I've looked
at git submodules but just got into more of a mess. It would be nice
to push a project complete with a (git) submodule upstream but it
seems tricky or impossible.

Thanks :)
