But which is the autoritative source then?
Does it give any more information?

The advantage in your proposal would be that submodules would
be visible immediately when looking at the commit,
without having to traverse the entire tree.
This may be worthwhile when showing the combined history of parent
and submodules.

But still this looks like "caching submodule information in the
commit object" and I do not know if we really want to do that.
