That and the fact that "module" is already an established term in software makes me prefer "submodule".

The only problem I have with gitlink is that there already was a lot of discussion about some entirely different "gitlink", so choosing a different name is not that bad. Aside from that I prefer gitlink, too. -- Martin Waitz
