Actually there is such a thing on the SVN:

https://openfoam-extend.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/openfoam-extend/tags/OpenCFD_Release/ThirdParty-1.5/

It looks like an empty directory, but if uses external-references and
pulls in a complete ThirdParty-directory (without paraview) if you do
a "svn checkout" on it. The problem is that the "git svn"-commands
don't support externals

Can't comment on those as it is a long time that I read them. The
build process is always similar with OpenFOAM. I know that this isn't
a satisfactory answer for those who do it the first time.
