Yes, the rspec (and jdbc link provided by Steve) show 2 different ways 
of doing it. rspec has separate repos for core mock expectations. They 
all use lib/rspec as their dir structure. There's also an rspec repo and 
the gem depends on the others, so installing it, automatically installs 
the others so you get the complete project. This sounds like what i have 
in mind.

jdbc uses one repo, each adapter has its own directory, and within it, 
its own lib, gemspec etc.

Both require moving files around quite a bit. In the second case, its 
within a repo so seems easy (git mv). In the second case, its across 
repos. Wondering how to do that. Clone ? or Just copy files and delete ?

The second case is still not clear in my mind. jdbc uses one repo, so 
there's only one master branch. When the user branches, the entire 
structure gets branched. All adapters ??? Surely I understand it wrong.
