[Kde-scm-interest] git migration and translation of documentation

Hi, this is just a heads up so that people that has not seen me bitch on irc 
knows.

The switch of KDE to git will break the process that creates .pot from 
original docbooks and translated docbooks from .po files since that uses svn 
externals to the doc folders of each module

I was going to work on a simple fix (create a script that checked out the doc/ 
folder of a git module) for it today but then i realized that git does not 
support the checkout of subdirectories so my simple fix was rendered 
impossible.

Since i'm not too found of doing what seems lots of work to workaround the 
weaknesses of git (that i was told was the greatest scm ever) i'll let the 
ones that really want to make us switch find a solution.

As always i'm open for help in explaining the problem and discussing possible 
solutions.

Cheers,
  Albert
