If you're not familiar with subtrees, see http://git-scm.com/book/ch6-7.html  If you are, is there any overriding reason to continue using submodules for the docs rather than a remote/vendor branch + subtree?

I can go into a little more detail if needed, but the git-scm submodules and subtree sections cover a lot of the relevant issues (http://git-scm.com/book/en/Git-Tools-Submodules).

I like lpc-doc as a submodule because it has a different license.
There is nothing to stop <you> from having it as a subtree.
