Can you spell out the use case some more?

The scenario that I would want is a kind of vendor repo (i.e. should
fail on commit with non-clean subrepo, but update substate if changed
on commit, maybe with a note/status). Is this that? I'm confused by
your "will not be updated". Also we probably want some discussion on
how this should be represented in the .hgsub{,state}.

Cheers,
