I use the multiple branch setup and just as Christian, this is just 
perfect. I finally like fixing bugs in "external" projects.

The only problem I see with submodules, is not the submodule itself but 
the inclusion/use of them at different point of time, making git-bisect 
a real pain to work with.

Besides that, I'm really not for reverting this way of working, this is 
just too convenient to not do it this way.

Just my 2¢ as leader of DBAL
