One of the questions we need to deal with, is how handle modules. There seem to be two approaches: - for each module, create a separate git repository. Inside the repository, each subproject has its own branching - put each module as a separate branch in a shared repository. I think the first option is the most natural one, but are there any issues, besides namespace pollution to the second option? -- Han-Wen Nienhuys - hanwen@xs4all.nl - http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanwen
