We're explicitly NOT doing a copy-everything path. That's the whole point. We're only copying the needed depends from the master list. git submodules actually make the problem worse, not better. > Alternatively, speed up the movement from incubation to library. Yeah - that's kind of the reason that bcwaldon was saying this shouldn't be in openstack-common. openstack-common wants to be a library, and then we're back at not having an appropriate place for the master list.
