as DBD::File is part of DBI, what is the best way to go around?
If I'm correct, DBI currently is here:

	http://svn.perl.org/modules/dbi/trunk/

I don't do svn, but git, and I cloned this with

	$ git svn clone http://svn.perl.org/modules/dbi/trunk/ DBI-svn
	$ git clone DBI-svn DBI
	$ rm -rf DBI-svn

I can now see the complete history for DBD::File with

	$ git log lib/DBD/File.pm

From a git point of view, how do I get changes into DBI? Or do you want
DBD::File to be split off (I don't think so).
