I agree that the current situation isn't ideal. I had hoped that we
could avoid constantly making changes that introduce cross-repository
incompatibilities but it seems to be too difficult to do that. We
keep introducing new lockstep changes.
Stefano's idea of mirroring the qemu git repo inside the xen-unstable
hg repo would be one approach. It could probably be done, although it
would be a novel arrangement.
I think a better thing to try would be to make it easier for people to
pull and update all of the sub-repos at once. It's not just qemu - we
have linux (which is in at least two major branches: 2.6.18 and pvops)
and now some of the Ocaml work too. Perhaps it's time to create a
meta-component which permits `make pull', `make world', etc. ?
Ian.
