Or maybe Git submodules should be avoided.  It seems to me that there
are a number of headaches related to the use of submodules in EPICS Base
that come up from time to time; now it has come up in areaDetector, and
I suspect the headaches will continue simply because submodules add
complexity.  I think a Git repo containing all of EPICS Base and another
one containing all of areaDetector would be much simpler to deal with.
I'm not a fan of submodules in general.
