Heh, good to hear, but I suspect your habits may differ from other 
peoples...

I agree that "git checkout" needs to have that .gitmodules thing. It 
should actually be fairly straightforward, although there are subtle 
issues (ie right now we can *atomically* say "cannot check out, it's 
dirty" - what happens when you've already checked out five subprojects, 
and the sixth one is dirty?).

"git diff --subprojects" is likely also something people will want, and 
that should be _reasonably_ straigtforward.

"git merge" is the big one.
