Does the answer change based on this? I'm pretty sure we have a
mistakenly-committed DVD iso image or two AND some passwords that
shouldn't be there. And some stuff imported from cvs in the wrong
place, then moved, that I'd like to clean up so in the future those
projects could be dumped and extracted separately. Starting over, I
think I'd go one project per repository but at the time it seemed like
access control would be cumbersome.
