Is this comparable to SVN's externals?

One of the interesting things Linus Torvalds mentions during his
Google talk about Git:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XpnKHJAok8
is that large projects (such as KDE) need to be broken up into logical
"content boundaries" (like individual programs) when put into Git --
otherwise it becomes difficult to work with because Git considers it
"one thing", and so when requested for a clone, Git returns the whole
thing. Linus says using a "superproject" helps this -- which turns
out to be a Git repository that then has other Git repository
"submodules" under it.

manual.html#submodules

I don't yet have need for this feature, but I wanted to point it out
in case some of you have large projects that could make use of it.
