Modify snippet of snipmate without changing submodule

Question

I installed the snipmate plugin and it works really well. I had to modify a snipped but that obviously resulted in a submodule change. Is there a better way to do this?

Note: I'm using pathogen to manage plugins.

SnipMate looks for snippets in a few locations. One of those locations, the default location IIRC, is:

~/.vim/snippets/

So you can put your custom snippets there.
