The only alternative I can think of is to scan through Working_SDK and replace
the files there with symlinks back to the matching files within the
original subprojects - such scripts exist !

Then any changes in Working_SDK will update the (baselined) originals in-place.

But then no explicit use of git except for tracking work prior to pushing
back to CVS.

Oh well, thanks for ideas, will see which work best.
