That subproject support is now in git.
The reason why I asked was that I found it a bit strange to switch to
arch, which has log been superceded by the more recent DVCS programs
(darcs, bzr, hr, git). Judging from the rapid growth of the git being
used e.g. for Debian packaging projects, the git seems to be a good
candidate.
The git command line UI is not necessarily bet yet, but the
documentation and features really excel in many areas. It's more easier
also to get git support than arch nowadays.
