I've not seen any thoughts on this so here goes. Some one who understands source control better than me might have a better idea.
I think something like this could work with git. Add a Platform directory to /trunk/edk2. Move EmulatorPkg, Nt32Pkg, OvmfPkg (we could make this a separate project too) and an other publicly available emulation environments into this directory. Remove hardware platforms. Then add N projects to support hardware platforms, maybe per company, or per project. A platform project looks like: git submodules of a specific version of the edk2 tree (fat driver, etc.). It could point to an svn branch that contains patches that are not yet merged into the mainline. Platfom/BeagleBoardPkg is then a git submodule So the N projects are hosted in a different svn/git than the ekd2, and then there is a git project that represents an edk2 version, plus a specific set of platform code. This means platform consumers can just pull a single item. The project git can be the working copy that users download, and the repo where platform code lives could be for TOT development. So again I'm no git expert but I've used a git project that has a submodule that is an svn remote. The strange thing is you end up doing git pull from . and Platfom/BeagleBoardPkg. Some one who knows git/svn better, may know a better way to do this, but at least something like this scales to a large number of platforms.
