Более того - в git появился git fetch --depth , который тоже ломает 
целостность репозитория.

Но было бы неплохо научиться с ним жить.

С submodules я столкнулся с такими проблемами, что мне оказалось проще 
импортировать tar.bz, чем тащить submodules в отдельные бранчи, а потом 
всё это мержить с ours.

Особенно, когда в виде submodule используется git ядра.
