[chef] git-subtree for cookbook management?

[Bryan Berry < >]

Dear Chefs,

the `git subtree` command was featured on Hacker News today as it was just merged into git master.

On the surface, it looks like it might be a good tool for managing the cookbooks that you are actively working on. As discussed at least in other forums, librarian-chef is an excellent way to "vendor" the cookbooks that you took from external sources and do not actively work on yourself. However, librarian is not intended to manage cookbooks you actively work on.  Git subtree might be a good tool for doing this. Anyone have any experience working w/ it?
