maintainer - want to add the proposal classes as a sub-repository at path

## The best way for GIT
### The best way for Git
is via the `git-subrepo` extension of `git`. Unfortunately this is not part of git
is via the `git-subrepo` extension of `git`. Unfortunately this is not part of Git
(yet). So you as the paper repos maintainer have to
[install it first](https://github.com/git-commands/git-subrepo#readme) if you want to
install the proposal classes as a subrepos. Your users do not, they will get the subrepos
automatically on `git clone` or `git pull`.
1. go to the top of your paper prehistory: `cd path/to/top` (you can only make a
"subrepo" from there)
2. add the LaTeX-proposal distribution repos as a "subrepo": `git subrepo clone git@github.com:KWARC/LaTeX-proposal.git LaTeX-proposal`
1. go to the top of your paper prehistory:
```
cd /path/to/top
```
(you can only make a"subrepo" from there)
2. add the LaTeX-proposal distribution repos as a "subrepo":
```
git subrepo clone git@github.com:KWARC/LaTeX-proposal.git LaTeX-proposal
```
Note that under `git-subrepo` the "external" is not updated automatically, a
maintainer has to "pull" it. This can be seen as a feature and not a bug (there is less of
a chance to break things).
1. go to the top of your paper repository: `cd path/to/top` (you can only pull from there)
2. pull the proposal classes repos as a "subrepo": `git subrepo pull LaTeX-proposal`
1. go to the top of your paper repository:
```
cd /path/to/top
```
(you can only pull from there)
2. pull the proposal classes repos as a "subrepo":
```
git subrepo pull LaTeX-proposal
```
To contribute changes back to the the LaTeX-proposal repository, you analogously do
1. go to the top of your paper prehistory: `cd path/to/top` (you can only push from there)
2. do the push: `git subrepo push LaTeX-proposal`
1. go to the top of your paper prehistory:

2. do the push:
```
git subrepo push LaTeX-proposal

### The second best way for Git
## The second best way for GIT
is via `git subtree`.
1. go to the top of your paper repository: `cd path/to/top`
2. add the LaTeX-proposal repos as a remote: `git remote add LaTeX-proposal
git@github.com:KWARC/LaTeX-proposal.git` under the name `LaTex-proposal`.
3. add the remote `LaTeX-proposal` as a subtree: `git subtree add --prefix=LaTeX-proposal LaTeX-proposal master --squash`
1. go to the top of your paper repository:
```
cd /path/to/top
```
2. add the LaTeX-proposal repos as a remote:
```
git remote add LaTeX-proposal git@github.com:KWARC/LaTeX-proposal.git
```
under the name `LaTex-proposal`.
3. add the remote `LaTeX-proposal` as a subtree:
```
git subtree add --prefix=LaTeX-proposal LaTeX-proposal master --squash
```
(here under the path `LaTeX-proposal`). The `--squash` reduces history noise.
When you want to update the subrepository to the newest version, you have to "subtree
pull" as above:
pull" as below:
1. go to the top of your paper repository: `cd path/to/top`
2. subtree-pull: `git subtree pull --prefix=LaTeX-proposal LaTeX-proposal master --squash`
this is a bit inconvenient, but works well.
1. go to the top of your paper repository:
```

2. subtree-pull:
```

Contributing back to the LaTeX-proposal repository is somewhat more complex; RTFM!

1. go to the top of your paper prehistory: `cd path/to/top`
2. make the `lib` subdir if necessary: `mkdir lib`
3. add the external: `svn propedit svn:externals lib`
4. an editor will appear, add the line `LaTeX-proposal LaTeX-proposal https://github.com/KWARC/LaTeX-proposal/trunk`
5. commit your work: `svn commit -m'adding external for the LaTeX-proposal '`
In a Subversion repository you must make an external by
1. go to the top of your paper prehistory:
```
cd /path/to/top
```
2. make the `lib` subdir if necessary:
```
mkdir lib
```
3. add the external:
```
svn propedit svn:externals lib
```
4. an editor will appear, add the line
```
LaTeX-proposal LaTeX-proposal https://github.com/KWARC/LaTeX-proposal/trunk
```
5. commit your work:
```
svn commit -m 'adding external for the LaTeX-proposal'
```
Note that in SVN any `svn update`@ will update the LaTeX-proposal repository in the
external as well.
