Re: partial checkouts

Check out git-subtree. It can split out a subdirectory into its own
repo, and re-integrate it back into the "parent" repo at a later date.
git-subtree has been posted as a patch to this list a couple of times
without much response, but it looks like an interesting alternative to
submodules: http://alumnit.ca/~apenwarr/log/?m=200904#30

looks interesting. might have been a solution until I heard about this
requirement to not change workflow at all. :/

Here's something that might work.  Write a script that runs on a
server somewhere.  It checks out *all* of the git-managed KDE
components, including documentation (it's okay to do this from *one*
place, right?).  Then it loops through all the documentation
subdirectories and splits them out into individual projects/branches
with 'git subtree split'.

I like this idea. I like the idea of git subtree in general. :)
however, we've decided to go the "copy all documentation into svn" route for 
now (so that the translators can keep using only svn).
I'll be back when we run into the next svn-external issue (there's sure to be 
more). :)
