fixes needed before we can use submodules
I had hoped to convert the medley/fonts directory to a separate repository using the git "submodule" feature.
The submodule feature allows you to say that a directory in the main repo (Interlisp/medley) is actually it's own repository which can be updated independently, with different license, checkout or merge rules, owners.
Ultimately, we should consider making other Interlisp repos into submodules of medley:
- loops
- notecards
- test
- maiko (!)
A few things need to change before we can do this:
- GITFNS at least needs an update (and possibly other places) to ignore the .git directory of the submodules.
- THe loadup scripts that checkout medley should use the right flags to checkout the master branch of the submodules by using the --recurse-submodules flag to the checkout command, and to allow the directory to be a subdirectory of medley rather than an aunt (sibling of a parent).
