A big problem with git:
* it cannot import a flat OE repository (e.g a mtn checkout of .dev)
* it cannot import a OE repo with history (e.g with mtn2git)
Why? Git can't store empty dirs, and we use that in a few key places in
OE. Holger 'solved' that in mtn2git by putting in a lot .dummy files
into those dirs, but those will end up in your packages and rootfses.

Koen
