1. The repo structure looks fine (to me, at least)
  2. That suggestion also seems fine. (Just saying that I've been trying to get access for some time now, but I'm probably no closer than when I just started :P)
  3. As for the externals, someone suggested using git submodules, but since they wouldn't be included in the clones (and checkouts, for that matter), I've just done a bit of reading and subtree merge could be considered. I also found this.

Everyone seems to be ok with doing this sooner rather than later, so
how about we pencil in the date of June 14th (next Friday)? That
gives us enough time to figure out the parts we don't know as well as
get notifications out to the relevant places. Things I think we need to
figure out:

1) Exact repo structure. I think we've gotten a good discussion started
on the wiki, but I'd like to see more input (and please, feel free to edit
it mercilessly, this was all written based on my naïve understanding of
how you guys work)
2) Who gets initial permissions on the repo(s). I've seen suggestions
for a select list, all committers in 2013...any of these is fine by me.
Remember this is permission for +2'ing and merging, all registered users
will be able to submit changes for review (just like everywhere else in
Gerrit)
3) What to do with submodules. A concise list of all the current externals
will make this easier.

Thanks everyone!
