Is it? I'm slightly struggling to understand what benefit you gain from having the "parent" repo but also having individual submodules. Sure, working in each individual project's module makes cloning faster, until you need to work on a module that references another module (at which point you need to check out the parent repo or risk using the wrong version), and now every change you make needs two commits (one to the sub-repo, and one to the base to bump the submodule reference),
