You can have a look at my dotfiles, they use git submodule:

git clone http://github.com/rawland/dotfiles
<a have a look at the folders here - especially dotfiles/vim/bundle/*>
git submodule init
git submodule update
<have a look again>

To update the "unified main" repo to the most recent version of the
children, write:
git submodule foreach git pull origin master

Though I would advocate for git subtree, as it makes it possible to
commit to each specific repo, as far as I understood.

Best,

Roland
