[MeeGo-dev] Day 1 is here - opening up the MeeGo development

[Samir Faci (Dev)]

It's not like you can't checkout the tag and use git archive to
generate a zip, tar.gz or any archive of your choice.

Also, if you need to refer to the source, why not simple have a git submodule.

git repo foobar.

foo bar relies to meego-super-module  tag 2.0, so have your source
pull the appropriate tag and treat it as a module.  I'm not sure why
this is such a big deal either ways.
