I did use it time ago (when it wasn't yet into Git master) for split
cookbooks from the old Opscode's Github repo for cookbooks. It made
the work a lot easier.
I'm actually not very fan of Librarian, but I don't really see how
git-subtree is different/better of git-submodules for working on
cookbook development.
Could you explain where you see the difference?

Thanks for the info, btw :-)
