I am fine with a new repo.  This also supports a good workflow to get a tool 
that then lets you pull full platforms.  In theory you would only ever really 
need to clone a single repo manually (assuming reasonable manifest support).

Are you also looking at creating a separate manifest repo as well or just 
creating a manifest branch in the new EdkRepo repository?

Thanks,

Subject: [RFC] Request for new git repository for EdkRepo

Hi Everyone,

Given that EdkRepo has existed in the project for over a year now (in 
edk2-staging) I think it is time to get out of staging. I have considered 
multiple possible landing zones:

1. edk2
2. edk2-pytool-library
3. A new repository

Edk2 does not seem like a good location as EdkRepo isn't strictly necessary to 
build EDK II, and I think all of us would prefer that edk2 not become a dumping 
ground. I have talked with the other maintainers of edk2-pytool-library and 
they would prefer that EdkRepo not enter that repository because EdkRepo does 
not have a robust set of unit tests yet and they don't want their test coverage 
metrics to decline. Therefore, the best choice seems to be a new repository. As 
always if anyone has comments they are welcome!

Thanks,
Nate
