Important: The only version of org-babel that's intended for users is
the version in current org-mode. I.e. the current master branch of
Carsten's org-mode repository. The other repository (the babel repo) is
for development only. Any stable improvements in there are rapidly
merged into Carsten's repo.

Personally I don't bother with make or make install when switching
between git branches. I just load straight from the .el files. But like
I said, unless you're making changes to the code, just use the main
org-mode git branch in whatever way you normally would.

Disclaimer: I only started using git submodules last night.
I think the main point is that the current set up means that org-mode
and org-babel share a common history of commits. My current idea of git
submodules is that I would include something as a submodule when it is a
module that gets used by multiple different projects, and so doesn't
'belong' to any project in particular. But org-babel belongs to org-mode
and has no independent existence and I think it makes sense for it to be
developed in an org-mode repo.
But away from org-mode, git submodules look really cool -- they seem to
be exactly what I was looking for to organize projects which share some
code in common.
