Allow linking between repositories

[ethernetdan]

It's often useful to be able to reuse components across multiple applications. For this reason I would like to implement the ability to link between multiple repositories.

Reference

• A URL to retrieve a kit repo
• A reference to a Git object (commit, tag)
• A kubernetes "selfLink" style path to the object (/namespaces///)
• A JSONPath/Go Template style reference to the value wanting to be used

Link Data format

How it will be stored within the GIt repository
FROM:
TO:

User input

Initially I will try having links be specified within a object files. A multicharacter delimiter will be used to denote the beginning of the link.

For example
$%%redspread.com/postgres#3722e31/v1/namespaces/default/services/pg-master (entire object)
$%%redspread.com/postgres#3722e31/v1/namespaces/default/services/pg-master.spec.ports[0] (specific value)

Links can be stored in the Git repository as /links
