So, the current situation is this:

No arguments:
  docs/trunk/docbook --> /dev/null
  engine-data/tags/* --> /dev/null
  scummex/* --> scummex (??? it will go first in the list, but
scummvm-scummex looks weird to me)
  media/* --> scummvm-media

I would like to keep -vendor, and keep original sources there which we
have permissions for redistribution. Such as original dreamweb code,
and as I remember, Lure.

  vendor --> scummvm-vendor

Now on the websites:

Right, keeping them in subdirectories makes it tricky to autoupdate on
the target sites. So let's ditch that.

Option 1. Separate repo for everything
  buildbot  --> scummvm-buildbot
  doxygen --> scummvm-doxygen
  forum/trunk --> scummvm-forum
  web/* --> scummvm-web
  web-planet -- scummvm-planet
  wiki/trunk -- scummvm-wiki

Option 2. Put everything in branches on scummvm-sites.
  buildbot -> scummvm-sites:buildbot
  doxygen --> scummvm-sites:doxygen
  forum/trunk --> scummvm-sites:forum
  web/* --> scummvm-sites:master  ??
  web-planet -- scummvm-sites:planet
  wiki/trunk -- scummvm-sites:wiki

The problem with this option is that you have to pull everything for
modifying just the buildbot scripts. Currently it takes about 350MB
for -web repo. I'd say that's a lot. This was my primary reason why I
proposed to put it into a separate repository.

Option 3. Web separate in scummvm-web, rest is in branches on
scummvm-sites or scummvm-web-other.

Thoughts?
