Research direction
Start by tracing how Hydra handles Mercurial, Bazaar, and Git repository inputs, then compare that behavior with Subversion inputs, which support subdirectory checkouts. The work is done when a subdirectory or single file can be selected and changes outside that selection do not trigger a rebuild.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
The Mercurial/Bazaar/Git repository types do not allow using a subdirectory (or single file) of the repository as a job input. This is useful if the repository contains other stuff besides the files we're interested in, and we don't want commits to the other stuff to trigger a rebuild. (With Subversion inputs this is possible because it allows checking out subdirectories.)
