Nested git repos are OK. I use one inside my git.git checkout to hold
meta-information and scripts (and I know Junio does the same thing). But
I mark the sub-repository as ignored in the parent repository. What's
insane is trying to track the same set of files from two different
repositories. And I think that is the confusing case in the thread you
mentioned.
