Using Git X-Modules instead of Git submodules for smooth integration #83

Hi guys,

We have just published a new GitHub app, Git X-Modules. It makes modules' management in Git much more clear and straightforward, than it is with Git submodules. It allows you to combine repositories together as regular directories and work with them, using standard Git commands - with all sync jobs running in the background.

In your project this tool will let users to clone or download your project completely with all modules as one repository.

Would you like to try it out? We would love to hear your feedback!

Looks interesting - for now we'll stick with submodules, but I wanted to comment so there's at least a response. We'll keep it in mind as we discuss.
