I'm still not convinced about 2.  Why should any of the submodule commits be 
in the supermodule repository?  I know that is what you've implemented, but 
it still feels like too much of a blending of the submodule into the 
supermodule.

In fact, why should the submodule commits be even visible in the supermodule?  
That tree->submodule commit is sufficient; there isn't any need to view 
submodule history in the supermodule.
