Practically all of my colleages who have used either recommended submodules. > It looks as if using submodules would require some extra work from > everybody checking out the code tree (which includes the CI servers) > while it should be automatic for subtrees. Most CIs know about submodules and automatically do the right thing, I've been told. Of course this doesn't include Gump, which is not a problem for the Ant community at large but rather for a small subset of it :-) Antoine pointed my to a post by Charles Duffy about this and Charles recommended to look into subtrees in a slightly different context. This isn't about a single tree experience but rather about mixing in a different git tree which is supposed to only ever be updated in its original location. By now I think I can live with either but we need to make a decision and run with it.
