A nasty problem with separate repositories for submodules is that when you 
screw up and git complains about everything you try do do, you previously 
could do rm -rf *; git reset --hard and retry whatever you were trying to do. 
With separate repositories your submodules will be resting in /dev/null, 
unless you're very, very careful.
