Initial attempt is here:

https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-packager/ticket/58

Proceeding with checkout now.  About 3 seconds/package, 10,667 packages = 
almost 9 hours.  Not sure what it was with CVS.  Much less connection overhead 
in that case I think.

I wonder if submodules could be harnessed for this?
