I am still concerned about the submodule thing - once we push a mainline 
version out with the format decided, that will be that and we'll be stuck 
with it.  Are we _really_ sure that it's right to have a non-object hash in 
the tree objects?

It's a fundamental change in the form of the tree: at the moment every hash in 
the tree object represents another object in the same repository; with 
gitlink as it is, that convention is broken.

Let's be really, really sure.  I'm not sure a big enough fuss has been made of 
the fact that this is a change of repository format.  Before this you could 
pretty much access any repository with any version.
