Funny, for me it looks completely different:

$ cd sub
# work, work, work
# from time to time commit
# from time to time rebase -i to clean up some things
# test, test, test
# sometimes push

And then, every once in a while, it is

$ cd ..
$ git add submodule
$ git commit -s submodule
$ git push

But hey, if you find that tedious, why did I not see a patch from you yet, 
implementing "git submodule commit-n-push"?

Ciao,
