In the fairly near future I intend to add Qtvcp/Qtscreen to linuxcnc. This is a python/Qt based virtual control panel similar to gladevcp.
I am wondering if keeping the project separate from linuxcnc by using a subtree or sub module is a good idea. I ask this question without knowing very much about this technique. The plus side that I think I see is qtvcp's git history doesn't pollute linuxcnc's, so I am not tempted to squash it all before adding it to linuxcnc. The negative side is more git commands (for me) to learn. Right now the branch qt5vcp_py2 is the most current and is squashed compared to the (almost current) branch qt5_vcp_cleanup for those wanting to see what i am talking of. Ideally I would update qt5_vcp_cleanup, rename it and add it as a subtree - thus keeping all my git history, without adding 150+ commits to linuxcnc. Of course currently qtvcp is not a completely separate project - it uses linuxcnc's makefile system and this branch modifies linuxcnc files that qtvcp uses (such as hal_glib) - maybe this is a problem. Looking for opinions of the idea to begin with.
