I think that it would be better to be inclusive while initially writing such a
document. The work of helping to distinguish gitslave from the others should
also help to flesh out the differences between submodules and git-subtree.

Once the document is in good enough shape that it can be merged, it would be
easy enough to strip gitslave out if it were decided that it should not be
included.

I second that. As a git user, I would love to see a document that described
these systems, explaining how they differ, showing how various "common" actions
are done in each, and describing the workflows each is best in, and what
workflows each does poorly with.

If somebody does not create a branch and post a starting point, I'm afraid this
idea will simply die out.
