Use case:
4 1 Gyorgy Fazekas
I tried to create a subrepository for one of my projects and realised that the website does not allow for doing that. Although it is possible to create a project as a subproject of another, the new project does not seem to be linked to the parent project in any way. Using subrepositories to make that connection would be a possible solution.

* I think it would be useful to be able to make a subproject be part of a parent project automatically as a subrepository.

* It's probably best if this feature would be optional.

* It would also be useful if subrepositories would be shown as such in the repository viewer web interface,

so it would exactly reflect the directory structure on the local machine when the whole project is cloned together with its subprojects.
