Right now we have the a Git repository called "leaf" with the following structure:

leaf/
    bering-uclibc4/
        buildtool/
            files...
        source/
            files...

It does not seem possible to git-clone just part of a repository, so all of the source files get downloaded when initializing the build environment. Then they all get downloaded again into buildtool/sources/, and get built from there. That doesn't seem very efficient. Should we consider having more than one Git "repository", one for buildtool and another for sources?

Do we need a leaf-git-commits mailing list to replace leaf-cvs-commits? Do we need to configure something to generate emails when changes are made? Is that what this section of the SourceForge Git page is all about?
Or should developers use RSS via GitWeb to get the same result?
