Due to the fundamental problem already described in this thread, you
cannot use git submodules AS IS to build packages using gear.  There is
simple workaround you can use to overcome this problem:
1. Extract each submodule into separate tarball using appropriate
   .gear/rules; this is trivial because you know commit ids.
2. Make sure that your build commit inherits to all these submodule
   commits.

Unfortunately, there are no means in gear-update-*whatever* yet to
automate this work.
