Just a clarifying question/suggestion.

The usual work flow on github seems to be that of a developer creating 
their own fork on github, and then requesting that the parent project 
pull from their fork.  Buildbot, for example, does this.  This may work 
better than giving several people direct commit access to the main 
bacula git repo. Senior developers, obviously, would have direct commit 
access, but random/occasional contributors would create their own fork, 
etc.  Just a suggestion.

The main code and regression tests make sense to keep together. Might it 
be better to break the gui out into its own repo?  The "git way" (for 
whatever value of "git way" you might find) seems to be breaking things 
down as small as possible.  One reason for that being git doesn't allow 
you to clone just parts of a project. It's all or nothing.  So, if I 
wanted to just hack on the gui, I'd have to pull down all the bacula 
director/sd/client and regress code.
