Perhaps write it and call it 'git sub' or something. Put them both in, and let users decide which they want to use. Or, like git subtree, maintain it separately. Personally, I've avoided tools like repo because they seem to try to kidnap my *entire* git experience, most of which is already fine. It's just submodules that are crazy. I think it's probably similar for other people.
