Did you take note of the warnings and recommendations in the wiki regarding subrepository usage? I used them for a while at work, some time ago, and it's... different. Theoretically it's all simple and nice, but there end up being corner case that don't work so well. And what with the git conversions that some people seem to prefer, that would all be even more complex. I'd recommend thinking this over a bit, and maybe just using the NSS model instead, or some method to pull in a fixed revision/tarball via a build system or similar feature.
