Yes, they are what git submodules do. However, submodules add a
considerable amount of complexity to our workflows, and when I tried it
the implementation of submodules was sufficiently flaky and confusing
that I was put off, at least for the time being.

No, unfortunately I just wrote the script after the discussion in
this thread. I see it as a way to help in the future, but I don't
think it will help with your current problem.
Of course for it to be useful in the future we need to actually
record the fingerprints somewhere. It seems we could either add
Simons sync-all log command output to the builder output, or we
could generate separate fingerprint files from a post-commit hook or
a cron job. Having separate files is a bit cleaner, but perhaps more
hassle.

This sounds useful. If you wanted to generate your hashes in the
fingerprint format (e.g. repo|hash) then the tools could be used
together quite well.
