Not really. I fail to see why HEAD needs to be changed so long as the
commit is in the submodule's odb.
Because I want the submodule to act as a normal git repository.
Please note that I also voted against changing HEAD directly, but that
the new commit which came from the supermodule is just stored in one
branch of the submodule, as part of the supermodule checkout.
You're assuming the super- and sub-module will share HEAD, or at least
ODB, I think. I'm not convinced this is necessary. Convince me. I'll go
drink bear and get some dancing done while you're at it ;-)
