The scripts should be friendly to the following 2 use-cases:
- - development work: easily cloning, binding repos to specific commits,
- remote tracking, patch development etc.;
- - to provide parent build scripts an easy method of tracking upstream

Also, we need to support at least the following modes of operations:
- - submodule bind - each submodule patches will be based on the commit ID

- - remote tracking - each submodule will sync with the upstream remote
