I'm currently working on a project that's doing something with Sakai. If you ever look at Sakai you'll find out they are big users of svn:externals. Anyway, we're trying to use Git and we're using a moderately complex system, in order to accomplish something that's kind of like a cross between subversion vendor drops and svn:externals.

If you're interested in the details let me know, I'd be happy to discuss them with you. Unfortunately I can't type them all out here, because I don't have all the details myself, I need to talk to another team member on the project.

There's a command line interface, cool.

Does git have anything like svn:externals? A quick search brought up a
few pages that lead me to believe it might be an issue, though if a
read-only SVN repository is still part of the plan, maybe that covers
it. I'd have to do more research.

Some questions that I can try and answer before they come up:
- The uPortal code in svn at source.jasig.org would likely be left in place,
we would just make the entire /uPortal directory read-only
- We're going to filter out the documentation and website files that were
included in early versions of uPortal 2 to reduce the project repository
size.

Since this is a big change (and since I'm going on vacation for 2 weeks
starting Friday) I'm planning on leaving this vote open for a while. +1, 0,
-1 to vote and if you vote -1 you need to include a detailed reasoning for
your -1 vote.
