Hi Juan,

As some background: On the Pulp project, we are trying to figure out how to
best use multiple git repos. This has been a problem for pulplift, with it
using forklift and ansible-pulp as submodules. Everytime the 2 subrepos get
updated, we have to update pulplift manually. I personaly end up just
symlinking forklift & ansible-pulp (under pulplift/) instead of using
submodules.

I can understand the very good use case of wanting to use ansible-pulp
roles in your overall/larger Ansible codebase. But I am concerned that it
will slow down development heavily to separate all 8 roles under
ansible-pulp/roles into separate git repos. That means that a single change
will now frequently involve up to 9 different repos.

Does anyone have any thoughts on how to overcome either Juan's difficulties
(with our current layout) or the ones we would have (with Juan's proposed
layout)? I can think of Juan using symlinks with our current layout.
