I think having them in one git project (that includes libgloss and the relevant toplevel) would be fine. I'm generally dubious of things such as submodules; I think basic requirements include: checking out with git:// gets a git:// checkout of everything; checking out with git+ssh:// gets a git+ssh:// checkout of everything; pulling automatically pulls changes to everything; branching, tagging etc. (and pushing those branches or tags) automatically branches, tags etc. everything. -- Joseph S.
