Yes, but it's because submodules are a badly architected, badly implemented train wreck. There are many good and easy solutions to this problem, all of which were not implemented by git. git is a clean and elegant system overall, with submodules as by far the biggest wart in that architecture. They should be doused with gasoline and burned to the ground.
