Keeping this behaviour would mean that every time someone adds a subrepo
(which I would consider part of the parent repo, if it has a relative
location), they have to ask an administrator to initialize a subrepo with
the corresponding name, although they have the permission to push. Is this
really the intended workflow?

On the other hand, when you pull -u from a repo that has a new subrepo,
a new folder is readily initialized. Isn't this somewhat asymmetrical?
