What about branches? I'm guessing we should expect the usual release branches. 
But will any person be able to create a branch? Will there be a policy, if this 
is the case? Is the policy enforceable?

How easy will it be to clone the "aggregated" repo, and then get some (but not 
all) of the submodules?

I wouldn't call it broken.
Won't it have the same end result as having a checkout per project and simply 
updating them close to each other?

Basically, it won't be "any more broken" than using this method for updating:

```
#!/bin/bash
for dir in llvm/{,tools/{clang,lld},projects/{libcxx,libcxxabi,compiler-rt}}; do
  # (cd $dir && svn up) # for SVN
  (cd $dir && git checkout master && git pull) # for git
done
```
