I strongly believe the "commit hash" method should be preferred as in
the current Guidelines (and obviously not a "last solution")

About the "Git Submodules",
I think this is directly conflicting with the "no bundled" Guidelines.

If a package use a submodule, this mean it use another project which
have to be packaged separately, and used.

Example:

https://github.com/10gen-labs/mongo-php-driver-prototype/tree/master/src
=> dependency on libbson + libmongc

https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-c-driver/tree/master/src
=> dependency on libbson
etc...

(and the tar command shoud --exclude .git, and the chmod have no sense)
