I've been using the sandbox with vendors updated with the scripts that
symfony comes with (on bin/ directory). First I've tried to use submodules
but for a few reasons I decided to stick with just cloning my vendors with
the scripts of the sandbox. When I want to update my vendors, I just run
./bin/install_vendors.sh and I'm ready to work.

Some of my personal reasons for this were:

. In my continuous integration system I've got several failed builds when it
tried to download some of the submodules. The problem was that the
connection with Github failed for several reasons (timeout, etc).
. Updating vendors one by one took me a lot of time (maybe I don't know how
to use submodules in the right way yet :P)


Again, these are my personal reasons. I'm not an expert with git so maybe
submodules are the best bet for other developers.


Hope this helps :)
