FWIW, I use git-subtree with hundreds of Emacs packages in order to include
them into my dot-emacs repository on GitHub (so that I can always clone safely
on other machines, even if those external repositories might someday become
unavailable).
So from experience using them heavily, I can say that it's not a hard thing to
manage, as long as you never want to make local changes directly to the
subtree. There is a way to get those "back upstream", but that's where all
the real work is. Just using subtree to keep an external repo up-to-date
within a local copy is trivial and easy.
