I know about ControlMaster (which we can only those of us with ssh+git can benefit), but just launching a new process and waiting if there's something new will slow-down. OTOH git skips the "recurse everything locking all subfolders" step, so it may be equivalent.
Maybe there's some way for fetching updates from aggregate repositories at once and I am just when everything is solved, though.
Submodules may actually work well for this, as long as something propagates the ext updates to the composite repo. The checked-out commit id of each submodule is stored in the tree, so if no changes were seen from that one containing repo it shouldn't have to pull anything from the submodule's repo.
