I have anyways seen git submodules (and svn-externals before) to be a quick and dirty workaround for managing dependencies between modules.

I've been under the impression that using an artifact management tool such as Apache Ivy or Bower provides a more manageable and scalable solution, especially in projects with 20+ developers.

How does the solution proposed by the author compare? Does it compliment a managed artefact based solution?
