Have the alternatives to sub-modules and monolithic repository been discussed ?

Sub-modules have their disadvantages as described in the following blog post: https://codingkilledthecat.wordpress.com/2012/04/28/why-your-company-shouldnt-use-git-submodules/

In our org we're using git-repo framework (https://code.google.com/p/git-repo/) to manage our project's multiple repositories (which include both llvm/clang) and it works very well. This is the same framework google is using to maintain Android project (200+ repos) internally AFAIK.

IMHO, using git-repo is less restrictive then git sub-modules and also allows multiple,independent development flows.
