I think this is closely related to Martin's list of wishes we
earlier saw in the thread: remind the user to push necessary
submodule tip before the top-level commit that needs that commit in
the submodule is pushed out.  Giving projects a way to implement
such a policy decision would be good, and having a default policy,
if we can find one that would be reasonable for any submodule users,
would be even better.  Would adding a generic pre-push hook at the
top-level sufficient for that kind of thing, I have to wonder.
