How to store a specific checkout of a submodule in .gitmodules
My project has dependencies. The dependencies are added as submodules.
A given submodule released a new major version that breaks my code.
In my personal copy I may cd into submodule folder git checkout specific version to fix this.
How do I store this specific version in a way that any fresh git clone; git submodule update --init --recursive comes with the correct version for the submodule?
- Perhaps in
.gitmodules? - "It's currently not possible and you should just add that specific version library code directly into your repository" ?

Freezing is the whole point of submodules. But you have to avoidgit submodule add -b.
