And you drank the Koolaid didn't you :)

  I see the advantages argued, but I'm not sure on balance how the hit due to
the change is outweighed by what git does for tde. I'm sure it works out, I just
don't know enough comparatively to see it. Regardless, we have git now, we will
just make due with what it provides. At some point in the future, if the distro
build dirs grow in size, it might be worth configuring them as individual
modules under tde-packaging to allow individual cloning.
