Splitting up repository firely net sdk

Goal

Adding an extra new Git repository (firely-net-common) containing Fhir agnostic projects:

• Hl7.Fhir.ElementModel
• Hl7.Fhir.Support
• Hl7.Fhir.Serialization
• Hl7.FhirPath

Solution

Using submodules: Git repository firely-net-sdk will only contain the following projects:

• Hl7.Fhir.Core
• Hl7.Fhir.Specification
• Git submodule to firely-net-common

Also to following test projects reside in the repo firely-net-sdk:

• Hl7.Fhir.Core.Tests
• Hl7.Fhir.Specification.Tests
• Hl7.Fhir.Serialization.Tests
• Hl7.Fhir.ElementModel.Tests
• Hl7.FhirPath.R4.Tests

You would expect that the last 3 test projects will be in de common repo, but the projects contain Fhir specific version information, so they are for now in the fhir-net-api.

In this solution you can still use project references instead of package references. A checkout of fhir-net-api have still all the source code at one place (a requirement for DevOps).

Consequences:

• Creating a PR with changes in both repos will result in a PR for both repos. So a separate PR for each repo.

Example

I did a dry-run on my local GitHub account: https://github.com/marcovisserFurore/fhir-net-api Also the common project resides there: https://github.com/marcovisserFurore/fhir-net-foundation (here still called fhir-net-foundation, but will be called firely-net-common.

I would advise you to checkout https://github.com/marcovisserFurore/fhir-net-api and play with it and give your opinion.
