Hi All,

The number of aircraft in CVS continue to grow at a quite incredible rate. We 
now have over 170, and there aren't enough hours in the day to fly all of them 
the amount of time that they really deserve. I haven't graphed the number of 
new aircraft per month, but it certainly feels that not a day goes by without a 
new aircraft directory being created in the CVS logs.

This is a wonderful problem to have, but does mean that running  "cvs up" on 
the /data directory can take an age, and the amount of data in the data package 
in its entirety is quite large.

I wonder if it would be worth moving all the aircraft to a separate repository. 

I think this might have a number of advantages:

1) Clearer separation between the core code and the aircraft custom code.

2) Easier administration of CVS write access - it should be pretty 
straightforward to give those who maintain a given aircraft write access to 
their own aircraft.

3) Easier "cvs up" for those with a slow connection, or not much time. No need 
to update all the aircraft all the time.*

-Stuart

* Yes, I'm sure there is a way to write some .cvs file so that the Aircraft 
tree is ignored, but I feel there should be an easier way.
