    do you know about git submodules? It's actually there to be  able to
track changes on remote repositories  that  are  closely  related, while
keeping a sane separation.

N.B.: the downside of something like notmuch, it's that it's making it a
pleasure again to write and check mails, and thus it's easy  to  ends up
discussing trivialities that can end up in endless trolls.
