+Using nested git repositories is well possible; if they are checked in they are called submodules, otherwise they just sit there unadded.

+Apart from some [[odd quirx you never run into in normal operation|bugs/creating dot-git-as-symlink workaround drops worktree configuration from submodules]], submodules work fine also with git-annex.
