Good morning, Talden.

Certainly that makes sense when maintaining source code trees. It seems
that it often makes less sense when maintaining documents such as
specifications, which are often independent of one another. Of course,
just as often, they are interdependent with one another, e.g. a test plan
derives from a software requirements spec which derives from a system spec
which derives from a marketing spec.

Some documents are truly independent, though, and it seems a waste to have
to keep each such document in its very own repository.
