If we later see that we really want to have it we can always introduce
it later.  I don't think we should do it now if we don't see clear
benefits _now_.

So I was not against the link object itself (initially I wanted to do it
this way, too), only agains the information which was proposed to be
stored there.  Up to now I haven't found anything which makes sense to
store next to the submodule commit to define the identity of the
submodule.
