Yes -- that's what we are doing. 'git clone --recursive
http://github.com/wikimedia/pywikibot-compat' would do the right thing.

However, GitHub does not convert the git submodule to an svn externals
property, and doesn't have an option to set this manually.

One option to solve this is to have an externals svn repository, which has
two svn:externals properties:

pywikibot-compat  http://github.com/wikimedia/pywikibot-compat
pywikibot-compat/i18n http://github.com/wikimedia/pywikibot-i18n

However, that requires finding that svn server, and maintaining the
svn:externals properties when anything changes. If anyone wants that, feel
free to set it up.
