So, for each subproject of a parent project, you want to record branch, version (commit ID), and directory location. Not quite as easy to do in a makefile but do-able.
I've been playing with this kind of subprojects a little bit.

My current approach is like this:

 * create a .gitmodules file which lists all the directories
   which contain a submodule.
 * the .git/refs/heads directory of the submodule gets stored in
   .gitmodule/<modulename> inside the parent project

Taking this a step further, you could make subproject/.git/refs/heads a symbolic link to .git/refs/heads/subproject, with the benefit that fsck Just Works.

Wouldn't an fsck in the parent complain about missing objects?
