I am with gitzilla on this one. Let the projects have their own
bootstraping mechanisms, using make, ant or whatever catches their
fancy. One of the great things about git is that it doesn't assume
that it's being used by all the projects in the world -- thanks to
Linus' disregard for arbitrary metadata and to your git-cherry
implementation, it's all about the content -- and so it interoperates
great with Arch, SVN, CVS, etc.

I hope this settles this issue and nobody would bring up "Wee
want subprojects" ever again ;-).

But since we can import everything into a GIT repository, and have
(some) tools for pushing changes back, we can pretend that it is being
used for every project in the world.
