The "super" or "sub" only comes from where in a hierarchy it is used.
Somewhere in the middle of the hierarchy it would be both?

I'd have said a repository can have many "modules" or "projects", and
each of those can have several branches. A module can hold other
modules, but from its POV also be part of a super-module (or
superproject), we just have to take care to not build loops.

Is my view of the world correct so far?
