Trying to make MythTV maintenance easier on myself since I couldn't
find a maintainer. Upstream changed to SVN a long while back and with
that changed moved all the plugins into one bundle called mythplugins.
They've now switched to git and with that change I decided to
modernize a little bit.
mythtv.git a few top level directories, each of which is packaged as
its own tarball which makes backporting patches extra fun. The
mythplugins tarball (mythtv.git/mythplugins) contains additional
plugins that are found in different git repos.
They're still unique snowflakes with their git usage.
