Aug 04 Eric W. Biederman    [RFC][PATCH] Branch history

I really think that using subprojects can be used for this workflow, too.
But adding a submodule directly to the root is not really possible,
we'd have to use special user interfaces for that, even when the
git-core might be able to handle it.
But what might be possible is to have one toplevel history-tracking
repository in e.g. ~/src and then add all the repositories you work
with as a submodule.  Whenever you want to record the history of
some project, you can simply commit it to ~/src.
