I'm still confused how this will help with people using our split git  
repositories. This will work against the released PEAR packages,  
right? So, how will we help people manage the various dependencies  
when using git? If I'm checking out git to get the latest and greatest  
code to work against (or help develop), I'm also going to want to be  
able to checkout the git repository of all of it's dependencies, not  
the PEAR packages - especially if we are in development of a new major  
version where we won't have any PEAR packages released yet that are  
compatible.
