does anyone know of a version control system that allows cloning subtrees as independent repos?

a similar sort of operation possible with some manual effort on git. you can do git surgery to extract a directory's history to its own repo. e.g., when open sourcing a package that's in a big closed-source repo.

but this only works one way. wouldn't be interesting to have something that works both ways? changes to the "sub repo" can make their way to the "parent repo" and they can be kept in sync.
