Using Emacs' project.el with Git Submodules

It isn't clear to me how to add new projects to Emacs' native project
concept.  In my case, my Emacs init files is a git repo with
submodules for each package that I'm using.  I have the main repo
added as a project but when I go to a submodule, Emacs thinks it is
part of the main repo but I'd rather have each be their own separate
project.

Has anyone dealt with such a situation before?

There's a variable that causes submodules to be merged into the main
one.  You can try setting it to nil -> project-vc-merge-submodules.

`(setq project-vc-merge-submodules nil)`
