[openstack-dev] [midonet] Split up python-midonetclient

Hi,

As Takashi Yamamoto raised in another thread [0], python-midonetclient
should be split out into its own repo. There's two major reasons for
this:

1) (Downstream) packaging: midonet and python-midonetclient are two
distinct packages, and therefore should have distinct upstream
tarballs - which are compiled on a per repo basis.

2) When adding repositories to OpenStack, they need to be tagged.
There's a bunch of tags, and one category is the "type": library [1]
or service [2]. Now midonet is a service, but python-midonetclient is
a library so they need to be separate repositories.

Thoughts?

Cheers,
Sandro
