Yeah, it works. You just have to remember, if it doesn't, in doubt use "git submodule update", or if this doesn't cut it use "git submodule update --init --recursive". Or maybe you should have run "git submodule sync" first? :) However I agree with others in this thread that it's easier to develop a bunch of modules that are used in a top-level project. Just change to the subdirectories, change the files, then when you are done commit the subprojects then commit the submodules commit ids to the parent project.
