The build systems for the repositories are still breaking out of their top level directory.
They are buggy on Windows. The last time I've used them Git started showing thousands of error messages, crashed and erased my repo and commit history, but one of the last few commits were left in the reflog so I managed to recover my files. It also copied the submodule repo directory into randomly selected folders in an upper directory. Maybe it's just an msysgit thing, but I'm never touching submodules again.
I haven't had any problems with submodules so far. I don't really understand why they wouldn't work as good on Windows as the other platforms.
