Ok. If you want separate releases, then they need to be in separate git
repos. That's the boundary when to split repos.

You should still fix the repositories so, that I can do git checkout of
the core, and git checkout of the submodules I'm editing, and I get
working tree (without make install). This basically means removing the
relative symlinks (preferably, not using symlinks at all). Those put a
lot of assumptions on how things are on disk. It makes developing
directly out of acf-*.git hard.

Rethinking, I think my biggest annoyance is that in-tree development
does not work currently. Not that it's split repositories.

There's still some other inter mixed relations we should fix. E.g.
acf-core depends hostname module which is found from
acf-alpine-baselayout. I think hostname should be moved to acf-core.

Additionally, we should start to maintain versioned dependencies. E.g.
each acf says which acf-core version is minimum requirement.
