And yes, that extra indirection would allow for more flexibility (the "link object" can contain comments about the particular version used, pointers to where you can get it - whether human-readable or strictly meant for automation - etc etc). So I agree with Andy Parkins' comment about the link object allowing not only extended namespaces, but also allowing a certain amount of flexibility (ie there's some built-in extensibility and ability to perhaps add future fields if there's a new object type). I just want the naming of the links themselves to use all the same SHA1 hashes etc, so that you always have a very explicit, and very trustworthy version - and never end up in the situation that you know which repository you want at that position, but you don't know exactly which commit in that repo was supposed to be checked out with that particular version of the super-module.
