Create read-only, subtree splits for independently usable modules

[ddeboer]

Goal: for each commit to driebit/ginger, update a read-only split at driebit/mod_ginger_base, driebit/mod_ginger_foundation, etc. This is step 3 in #50. I already merged the Tagger and RDF modules (that were already on GitHub) into driebit/ginger.

Options:

• https://github.com/dflydev/dflydev-git-subsplit-github-webhook
• https://github.com/ryanwinchester/subsplit-service
• split.sh by the Symfony team (soon to be open sourced).

The splitting can become quite heavy for large repositories that have a long commit history; split.sh seems to solve this. Can we do the splitting on Travis (after_success) or would we need to boot a Docker container somewhere else?

Shouldn't this be the other way around? Have the Ginger repo be a collection of submodules that are edited in a separate repository?

[ddeboer]

It should not. See my explanation that I’ve just added to the docs.

[Dirklectisch]

Fair enough.
