It's the former: our PDE batch build fetches several SDK test projects
for (a) running these against Object Teams and (b) running our tests
that are built on top of some SDK tests.

Right, that's why I was glad Paul mentioned I don't have to follow the
sub-module reference but can use the common tag in the individual
repos directly.

Thanks, I now have a first build against M6 using tag I20130314-1330
for each individual repo and tests are running as expected.


thanks for both your help,
