A kind person pointed out that I left out a footnote.  I think all I
had been planning to say is that, roughly speaking, submodules are
about[1] saying that a specific commit is known to work well with the
rest of the code.  A supermodule like the one discussed in [2] is only
likely to be useful if you are interested in what historical
combinations of repositories were published and meant to work well
together.

Ciao,
