A bit OT but I was wondering how something like aries with lotsa tiny 
subprojects would work in git and I think the answer is git submodules,

http://schacon.github.com/git/user-manual.html#submodules

each bundle would be an independent git repo and we'd also have a master 
project with the current directory structure (maybe missing the 
parents....dunno) and each bundle project would be a git submodule.  IIUC 
checking out the master project would check out all the subprojects at their 
"trunk" HEAD revision.

This seems sort of attractive to me since it matches the expected release 
behavior better.  But, I guess it will be at least  a few months before we can 
try it.

thanks
