If we want to keep the svn model, I'm not sure if sparse checkouts are
available for git submodules.

Another approach would be to have a separate scummvm-cxxtest repository 
that'll be shared between the various scummvm git repositories.

Both seem complicated, and I don't think we need to stick to it.


How about we just duplicate that code (+ history?) among the 
repositories. It's not a lot of code, and all of the changes to the 
official cxxtest release are superficial, removing semicolons, changing 
a bit of syntax, and changing a print statement to look like a function, 
to support python 3.

So I could just dump the current cxxtest dir with an extra commit, Or a 
series of commits.

What do you think?

It's github, so you can fork and do whatever. I also added you as a
contributor to my own repository, so you can go nuts :)
