You can very simply embed one "clothed" repository into another in GIT,
like shown below

  project/.git
  project/subdir/
  project/subdir/file
  project/subproject/
  project/subproject/.git
  project/subproject/file
  ...

It depends on circumstances if one wants files belonging to subdirectory
be ignored by top repository. You would want to ignore .git/ directory,
though.
