I'm no developer and certainly not a git expert but sounds to me that a fork is somewhat easier than stripping a git tree from 'uninteresting' things.
At least that's how I do it. I fork it to translate, test, build with different options, etc and keep it always ready and up-to-date.
Anyways, seems to me that it's a good thing that you can run a test-build whenever you want.
Just my €0.02

It is possible to develop a pvr addon outside the XBMC source tree. The only XBMC files you need to copy to your own repo are the addons/library.xbmc.* directories as far as I know.
The main disadvantage of a separate git repo with only the pvr addon right now is that it is not easy to test required changes to XBMC itself.
My experience with the current PVR API is that it may need further extensions to support other PVR backends than the original VDR backend where the API is heavily based on. This is the main reason why I made a complete fork.
Grt,

is there already a tuxbox/enigma2 pvr addon that binds into the xbmc-pvr branch?

no developer has expressed any interest in this (yet).

Dushmaniac, are you going to update your ppa to 10.1 ?

a new ppa build will be probably be published this week.
it's not based on 10.1, but on the current master tree.

that will have to go through a pull request in mainline xbmc. once it's included, eventually it'll be merged with the pvr tree.
I'm not going to customise the build. my builds will be made from the main pvr development tree. others are free to do "flavoured builds" of course.
