Important: The only version of org-babel that's intended for users is the version in current org-mode. I.e. the current master branch of Carsten's org-mode repository. The other repository (the babel repo) is for development only. Any stable improvements in there are rapidly merged into Carsten's repo. > I got a bit confused with all this branches. > Maybe I do something wrong during the installation from git. I actually only > run standard make; make install; Personally I don't bother with make or make install when switching between git branches. I just load straight from the .el files. But like I said, unless you're making changes to the code, just use the main org-mode git branch in whatever way you normally would. > and I set a symlink of the contrib folder into my .emacs.d from where emacs > will find the babel files.

Disclaimer: I only started using git submodules last night. I think the main point is that the current set up means that org-mode and org-babel share a common history of commits. My current idea of git submodules is that I would include something as a submodule when it is a module that gets used by multiple different projects, and so doesn't 'belong' to any project in particular. But org-babel belongs to org-mode and has no independent existence and I think it makes sense for it to be developed in an org-mode repo. But away from org-mode, git submodules look really cool -- they seem to be exactly what I was looking for to organize projects which share some code in common.
