And that can be changing. Of course, every project which happens to be submodule of some supermodule, also can have its own repository, as it is fully independent. And then, you of course can clone from without any knowledge of its relative position in the supermodule. Yes. Of course. Yet, you need some name to store meta information of submodules into some config file of the supermodule, like whether you want to have it checked out (see below). In that case, such a name for a submodule does not have to be global in the supermodule project... Yes. I just gave an example of a policy some project may want for submodule handling. Exactly. And in this list, you have to specify names. The thing I wanted to discuss is whether such names would need to be globally unique in the project containing submodles, or not. If yes, it IMHO makes a lot of sense to introduce "submodule objects" which contain these submodule names, and which are used as pointers to submodule commits in supermodule trees.
