I understand this but if two projects share the same commit history
for their subdir-lib
both test-split and test-split-old will have same root.

That is too clear for me and since I try to avoid committing
'reversion commits' it works for my
workflow. I don't want to track library as separate ref (at least now).

Anyway thank you for great extension - will now try using it on a
regular basis - there're another project that is more suitable
to track libraries as you suggest.
