No amount of scripting is going yo help those of us not wanting to use the git cli. And this is something I mentioned early on. If something past basic git functionality is needed as a regular course of use the move to git will fail.
You have point, however I am not sure the GUI you choose know nothing of how to help you use submodule and avoid its pitfalls, In any case, since only a few will have to do commits in the super project that changes submodule commits, and that may even be more or less completely automated, I am not sure these advertised problems with submodules will actually manifest themselves in Boost.
I saw an article some time ago about a git feature that should be used instead of sub modules.. but I can't find it right now. Perhaps someone can find that alternative arrangement?
There was some talk on the list on git subtree which are now standard command in git, but I doubt it is a good alternative for Boost. -- Bjørn
