As always, git's answer to the problem is "stop being afraid of `git submodule`."
Cross-repo commits are not a problem as long as you understand "it only counts as truly committed if the child repo's commit is referenced from the parent repo".
Git submodules are awful. Using subversion's own submodule system should be mandatory for anyone claiming Git's implementation is somehow worthwhile or good.

This is a big problem in my experience. Relying on consumers of your dependency to upgrade their submodules isn't realistic.
