I know about ControlMaster (which we can only those of

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.
