[RFC] Move Tests directories outside to a separate repository #6047

Hi,

I've found myself marking directories as Test directories in PhpStorm once again today and I've thought myself why not remove the need to do this every time I have a Symfony2 project?

While I understand that this is a very specific issue, I'll open a issue with PhpStorm guys as well since they've added some Symfony2 support already, but this should also minimize the footprint of the repositories in any used IDE as well as other deployment options. It should be obvious that when using a IDE that doesn't support special treatment for tests there's an added overhead for them.

Maybe we could even have @Seldaek input here on a option that would allow installing of the tests separately via Composer, using a special entry called require-tests that would download the tests when using a --tests option.

What do you think? Does this seem reasonable to you?
