I'd much prefer to leave the repo structure unchanged and migrate directly into git "as is". Restructure the repo into submodules after we've made the transition to git. It will be much easier to restructure the repo with everything already in git. There's two upsides, we lose no commit history and it only perturbs one aspect at a time (first give people chance to use same repo layout using new tool, followed by a restructure of the repo into submodules using the new tool). I worry about perturbing too many variables at once.
The disadvantage is that both are liable to cause massive disruption. I'd rather get it all over with at once, so I can get on with the things I actually care about. In Christ, Steven Watanabe
