So basically assume there's an xml or similar file that's on a web server
somewhere that defines a hierarchy of KDE projects. Changes to this file won't happen often, but they will
happen. So keep a cache of it and maybe update automatically once a
day or when asked to.
 
The user should be able to perform commands like:
 
unnamedtool clone KDE/base #clones kdebase
unnamedtool clone KDE #clones everything in the trunk/KDE
unnamedtool clone extragear #clones all of extragear
unnamedtool clone extragear/multimedia #clones just the multimedia repos in extragear
unnamedtool clone extragear/multimedia/kaffeine #clones the app kaffeine
unnamedtool clone kaffeine #a shortcut to clone kaffeine
 
So above there are really two types of directories being created. Ones
that are part of our 'virtual' hierarchy, and ones that are the actual
git repos.The directories that aren't git repos are going to need some
sort .file to store the info about what virtual directory they are
supposed to be. This will all stuff like the following.
 
$ unnamedtool clone extragear
$ cd extragear
$ unnamedtool pull
 
So this would do a 'git pull origin master:master' command in all the
repos. There should also be a 'unnamedtool update' command that works
the same, but does a 'git remote update' command instead.
