    A lot of replies here seem to be asserting that this "isn't that hard" without addressing the thing that makes it most hard: submodule compatibility and the breadth of tooling

      Submodules are a mistake.

        I won't defend submodules, but I also don't accept this as a response because it's irrelevant. They are used and it will be an unbearable pain when they break.
