I concur. my limited understanding of how submodule works lead me to believe that it would not be a nice fit with what we do 1/ it is more appropriate when the 'modules' have fairly independent life-cycle, which is not really our case. sure calc/writer/impress/base are fairly isolated from one another, but the coupling with libs-core/libs-gui/ure/... is pretty tight 2/ this would make the barrier of entry, and the possibility of srew-up so much higher. I do agree that it could make a sens for a limited use in the 'build' repo of git submodules... but then again, I'm not sure it will improve the workflow of the people using it...
