But doesn't git expect to work with (check out, etc.) the submodules
by default ? So the git tree with the submodule metadata isn't really
suitable for general use by people who are expecting a "normal" git
branch.
Perhaps dgit should be given a special branch with the submodule
metadata removed. (Please tell me you don't intend to publish the
submodule metadata in the .git-less Debian source package.)
