[Insight-developers] Data submodule was reverted again ( staging check needed? )

[Williams, Norman K]

Depending on Midas isn't all skittles and beer, either.  When you're
having a Midas issue -- which we're currently having with some of our
programs that are included in Slicer -- you're dead in the water until you
get Midas to behave.

Having your own testing data in a big whomping git repo has it's
disadvantages, but it is the least brittle option.
