No.  The sub{tree|repo} is a fork, not a pointer, to the upstream
module.

That is exactly what git sub{tree|repo} is.  It's really just tooling
around that workflow, keeping track of where you last synced from so
that you can pull changes since then, etc.

Right.  Exactly what git sub{tree|repo} does also.  You decide when to
git sub{tree|repo} pull from upstream.
