Just had a brief chat to David about this idea: Git submodules (or the Hg
equivalent) might be a way to achieve this: i.e. say there is a workspace
with all public workspaces embedded as submodules. Variations on this
theme come to mind: using this to designate a curated set, and versioning
of a curated set.

Cheers,
Randall
