Dub doesn't support git submodules (because it downloads the Zip 
archive from GitHub/GitLab).
So `dub fetch my-package` won't fetch any submodules. This is 
already a huge annoyance, but the mentioned point was about 
supporting git checkouts in dub, s.t. you can have Dub 
dependencies from any git source like in almost any other major 
package manager without them needing to be registered on the dub 
registry or to be manually checked out.
