Passing all that stuff on the command line doesn't scale very well, so I'm
hoping to improve the situation with my mailer.py script (and remove some of
the inefficiencies of commit-email.pl).
Regarding the original question about multiple vs single repository:
originally, I was gung-ho on the multiple style, primarily for security
and data partitioning purposes. However, lately I realized that for (open
source setups), that there isn't much reason for strict data security. Since
everybody can read everything anyways...
So for some of the reasons that Greg Hudson provided (enable copy/move
between areas in the repos), I've lately tended towards single-repository
setups.
