I get hit by that every so often :-(.

As others have mentioned, the monotonically incrementing ids are extremely
useful, particularly when bisecting across clang/llvm.  I think that
Medhi's suggestion may be a viable solution.

As long as a mechanism for bisecting across the repositories is worked out,
definitely a +1 from me.

I have some git-subtree changes in the works (and used in production
here) that allows this quite naturally.

Not that I'm necessarily recommending git-subtree over git-submodule but
it is another option to look at.
