To make it incredibly clear that our copy of hcrypto is in fact

The only issue with using submodules is that you need to do more than
just a simple git clone to download the whole source tree, and more
than
just a fetch to update it. That said, there are the benefits you
note in
the separate repository approach.
Simon.
If you can enumerate the additional steps required that would be
appreciated so that the community that judge whether the additional
burden will be too onerous.
Instead of just doing a git clone to fetch the repository, you need to
do to
git clone
git submodule update --init
If you move your tree to a point which would have a different version
of the submodule, then you need to explicitly update the submodule to
that version with:
git submodule update
