One problem I had with Pathogen using git submodules (and presumably Vundle as well) was the inability to tweak my plugins. I wanted the ability to be able to modify several of the plugins I had installed and I couldn't figure out a nice way of doing this. In the end I opted for git subtrees but this also seems like an overcomplicated solution.

For tweaking plugins, you should use .vim/after/plugin/NAME.vim files. Otherwise, clone the repository, make your changes, and initiate a pull request.
