IIUC, git sub-modules point to a specific revision of the external
repository, right? So would projects still have to explicitly update to
newer versions of the incubator code by changing that sub-module reference?

With the copy process we have now it is possible to update only part of the
incubator code in a project. Is that a feature we would want to retain if
using sub-modules?
