I, too, was shortly going to attempt a partial checkout/clone
implementation. The intended context of my implementation was similar
to the KDE scenario in that you might only care about /pkgA and /pkgB,
so changes to /pkgC are usually irrelevant and independent to your
work-flow, so I was planning to assume a simplistic "theirs" merge
strategy for /pkgC, etc.
