I have a project that I manage with git and would like to manage its dependencies with composer. On the other hand I am using Cloudcontrol PaaS and they require me to have all dependencies as git submodules or include them in the directly in my git tree (last option is not an option).

For what I see composer install git dependencies with clone instead of with submodule. Why is this the way to go for composer?

Would you accept a patch that as an option install dependencies as git submodule or is this something previously discarded?
