Later on, upstream changes can be pulled in, and local changes can be\npushed back. Simple.\n\n=head1 Benefits\n\nThis command is an improvement from C\u003cgit-submodule\u003e and C\u003cgit-subtree\u003e; two\nother git commands with similar goals, but various problems.\n\nIt assumes there are 3 main roles of people interacting with a repo, and\nattempts to serve them all well:\n\n=over\n\n=item * B\u003cowner\u003e - The person who authors/owns/maintains a repo.\n\n=item * B\u003cusers\u003e - People who are just using/installing the repo.\n\n=item * B\u003ccollaborators\u003e - People who commit code to the repo and subrepos.\n\n=back\n\nThe C\u003cgit-subrepo\u003e command benefits these roles in the following ways:\n\n=over\n\n=item * Simple and intuitive commandline usage (with tab completion).\n\n=item * Users get your repo and all your subrepos just by cloning your repo.\n\n=item * Users do not need to install C\u003cgit-subrepo\u003e, ever.\n\n=item * Collaborators do not need to install unless they want to push/pull.\n\n=item * Collaborators know when a subdir is a subrepo (it has a C\u003c.gitrepo\u003e file).\n\n=item * The C\u003c.gitrepo\u003e file never gets pushed back to the subrepo upstream.\n\n=item * Well named branches and remotes are generated for manual operations.\n\n=item * Owners do not deal with the complicatio",
