[hibernate-dev] Hibernate Core is now using Git

[Strong Liu]

hello git gurus,

here a question:

how to perform a partial checkout? in our testsuite hudson job, we only need the testsuite module, and the purpose for this job is testing the artifacts that upstream core job deployed.
of course check out the whole project is an option, but this will force the testsuite job uses parent module in the same checkout but the artifact in maven repo.
any suggestion?
