You can have such a comment in any file including .gitmodules but would that even be a feature? A comment in the INSTALL file was what I had in mind, at least while we are getting more familiar with the proposed two project structure and before we commit to use the submodule mechanism to bind them together. > So we'd want to be able to say: > "get a tarball including all submodules except the superproject" > (This would produce the "optional language pack tarball") You do not need that. Just go to the gitman-l10n project and grab a tarball out of it. > "get a tarball including the superproject and only one submodule" > (This would produce the "I can distribute this in locally as everyone > speaks the same language in the organisation" tarball) We don't need that, either, even though some other project would. "git archive --recurse-submodules" with properly implemented pathspec support will solve that.
