perhaps we should just put Clang and LLVM into a single git repository and add a
CMake option to disable compilation of Clang (the same could be done for other
LLVM sub-projects for which bisection and other nifty features require a single
revision number to refer to code across projects).  Keeping these projects in
separate repositories is just more work, and I don't see what we're
getting out of that extra effort.

The thing that we’d gain by keeping them together is not breaking all of the
people who have forks of the clang git repo.  GitHub tracks 563 so far.
