IMHO both in case of Eclipse plugins, and KDE modules/apps/whatever it would be much better to use submodules support than partial checkouts. IMHO the best example of partial checkout workflow would be documentation writers or translators. You cannot put docs in separate submodule, as you want to have whole-tree change+documantation update commits. -- Jakub Narebski Poland ShadeHawk on #git - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
