I don't know. Maybe you can use topic branch. The idea is that you and
other theme designers branch out from a known point, then make changes
in the theme directory only. You guys can merge from each other's tree
because nobody would change anything outside theme directory.
Occasionally you can merge back upstream for testing with new code,
but don't push that merge until your theme is ready. Once your theme
rolls out, you can either keep working on your topic branch, or throw
it away and branch out again.

Also, please consider submodules if theme dir is totally independent.
I don't see how it makes it problematic for testing. git-subtree [1]
might be of your interest too.
