[katello-devel] Codebase Split-up Planning

[Petr Chalupa]

I would use git subtree [1] for splitting the repositories. Clone would 
keep whole history, subtree would extract history only for a particular 
directory. AFAIK subtree would also allow us to prepare new repositories 
and keep them in sync with the current repository (using `subtree merge` 
and `subtree push`) until we are ready.
