I suggest to go with the alternative solution. There are already white and black lists for particular files in libs-gui/l10ntools/source/localize.cxx. We just need to add a similar mechanism for directories. Regarding the flat structure. Some developers might prefer the sorting into 20 git modules. Though, I think that it is still easier to move between the various modules in the flat structure. If it is used by most people, it does not make sense to hide it in a subdirectory.
