Partial checkouts are somewhat possible with GIT but what is preventing 
me from migrating our repository is the lack of svn:external mechanism.
I don't want multirepos, and even then submodules are to be updated 
manually everytime where svn:external are automatically up to date.
And ideally, I would also need file externals support even if I could 
settle for folder external if that's all there is.
I looked a various solutions but none where as easy to use for 
developers than externals when doing a "svn update" at the root of the 
checkout.

That being said, I'd be quite happy to be proven wrong.
