I discussed this a little with Jonathan N and Albert and we think it probably won't matter too much. If anything, I expect mostly we would touch the submodule--helper, and not the 'git submodule' builtin. But just in case - it would be useful if any GSoC student were publishing their code to a feature branch (on a fork, maybe) so that I could keep an eye out for possible conflicts that way. Or, at very least, CCing me and Jonathan N on patches :) - Emily
