My experimentation with git submodules was completely successful.
Basically trivial.
To enable, in the project root directory, do a
git submodule add <git clone string>
In the project CMakeLists.txt add something like
add_subdirectory (<directory name> EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL)
This will prevent unreferenced subprojects of the submodule from
showing up in the build and/or Visual Studio. The only gotcha that I've
run into is that you can edit files in the submodule, but they can never
be committed or pushed. Probably smart to set them all readonly.
When cloning a respository with a submodule, it's necessary to add the
--recursive switch.
CMake also has an external project capability that has nothing to do
with git submodules. Don't try and mix them.
