I would prefer to avoid having branches/ with different origins in the
same repositories.

Can't branches have documentations attached to themselves like tags
(git tag -n)?

They are independent in that code doesn't move (much) from one to the
other, but you still want to be able to easily checkout them out
together. "git submodule" sort of allows that as far as I understand.
All the documentation I have read on it however just didn't make it
sound all that convincing or easy to use. The goal after all is to
have something that works better then SVN, not something that has to
be patchworked together to sort of work with our project.

At this point Git just doesn't look at that convincing.
