what's the downside of having a repository composed of thousands of "update 
subrepo foo" commits? we're past a million svn commits now, that's a lot of 
committing - but now that I think about it I'm having trouble coming up wth an 
actual problem with that. apart from the potential cpu and network load for 
the update bot, which could be tiny for all I know.

hmm.
what happens if $build-script does a "git pull" on hte supermodule after I do 
that?
