Re: auto-ACTION-1: Work with ted and kaz on github repository layout

Re-adding the list in case others want to give input.

I can make time Wednesday afternoon ET.

Dave you probably surmised what we intend to do here but will elaborate
as the minutes were scant and a plan wasn't fully formed.

The two draft specs the Auto Working Group is chartered to bring through
the standards process are presently in a repo that belonged to the
Business Group.

https://github.com/w3c/automotive-bg/

As both groups are going to co-exist, collaborate and/or transition work
between them it would make sense in my opinion to have a single repo for
both and to have clearly named sub-repositories (submodules) per project
under.

https://github.com/w3c/automotive

The two specs being worked on should be in one folder since they 

https://github.com/w3c/automotive/vehicle_data_spec

Significant deliverables for a project such as test cases for vehicle
api can either be a sub-directory or sub-repos under vehicle_data_spec.
We want to avoid having to handle huge merge requests across all
projects but have convenience of being able to recursively update all of
one's local checkouts.

There are a few ways to go about this and to be honest I'm not sure of
the pros and cons.  I'll read up and ask advice of some who know git and
better than I.
