GIT-SUBMODULES INSTEAD OF REPO
==============================

  Google(Shawn Pearce) has done an awesome job with their tool repo for android source management. 
I feel that it would be great if git-submodules could gain some of it's features. In my opinion 
porting repo to use git-submodules should be a fairly easy process.


*TODO*
    * git-clone needs an option to clone hook scripts. 
            (Reasoning: So that uploading to isssue tracker Gerrit can be setup properly.)
            (Reasoning: So that tarballs can be copied into dir similar to repo.)
    * git-submodule needs to be augmented (rm, mv)
