But if you're not touching clang, then it won't get recompiled.
git-subtree gets you the benefits of a single repository while still
allowing individual updates of components.

Again, this is just something to look at.  I have some git-subtree
enhancements not yet sent to upstream that I think would be important
for LLVM if the community decides to seriously look at using
git-subtree.
