I'm attempting to track my dependencies with git-submodules in my rails app. So far I've added submodules for things like, haml, shoulda, authlogic, etc to 'vendor/plugins'. I've seen indications that I should be using 'vendor/gems' instead though.

Question, which directory is the appropriate place to put dependencies being tracked as submodules? Is the choice arbitrary?

Thanks
