Hi Gary,

Instead of checking out the entire Xalan project, I typically just check out a subtree (such as xalan/c or xalan/c/trunk). This is trivial with subversion, but it's not clear to me if the same thing is possible with git. (side note: I did some brief research and found information about sparse/shallow checkouts, and using the --filter switch, but I haven't had a chance to experiment so I'm not sure what works and what doesn't. Perhaps someone who has tried/done this, especially with github or gitbox, can chime in?) While using separate repos isn't an exact substitute for svn's subtree checkouts, it's close enough for my workflow (and is what I'm generally used to for git-hosted projects, anyway). Plus, anyone who wanted the entire project in one tree could still get a close approximation of that using git submodules.
