No modules, please. Like I wrote, it only works if you don't really
change the modules. It is particularly bad when working with other
people.

dfx. I'll look into that, thanks.

My time is not exactly cheap. I can do something else, but it breaks
the flow. Which means I start looking at ways of avoiding updates. And
it happens too often.

Awesome, that is a really bad-ass idea. I may just try it for fun!

Using branches that way is not exactly what git was meant for ;).

Yeah, the discussion is about channels. I.e., sharing bespoke binary
deployment. And making it really easy. And saving me and others from
pain. That is my itch to scratch.

Even so, I'll try sub-tree and dfx - they may help me ;).
