11 No, I don't think so. The main thing about submodules is that every
12 submodule is bound to a specific commit. Unless the main goal here is
13 to step-update all three modules at once, it's not a good solution.

15 And in this particular case, using submodules looks like 'let's keep
16 two copies [hardlinks] of the same repository for no good reason'.
