Minor update to Subpro.txt
This is ancient in git timescale, but we see requests for subprojects support every now and then. The document talks about a possible UI level semantics and core level support. Most of the core level support is in the "bind commit" updates topic branch, except a few. Most notably, "update-index --bind" and "update-index --unbind" still needs to be written.
