This sounds like just the thing to basically create kde "superproject"
without relying on git submodules. As a side note... if used properly,
a superproject that contains only submodules could also be used to
perform such a "global" checkout.

depending on how granular the repository structure ends up being, a
script that basically wraps git clone wouldn't be needed (at least not
initially)
