Selective read access

My real rationale for writing here is that I _really_ dislike non-distributed VC systems, for the simple reason that I can't do my own version-controlled changes without either asking for commit access or re-importing the stuff into my own VCS. "git svn" to the rescue …

Granted that giving partial r/w access to somebody after the fact may not be particularly easy with git, but give me a few hours and I'll write a script to convert a subtree into a git submodule, with a copy of the relevant part of the commit history. Problem (mostly) solved.
