Re: [incubation] possible for one project to have multiple gitrepositori

["Mark Stoodley" <mstoodle@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for that advice, John. I completely
agree with it. I am actually trying to avoid as much as possible to fracture
my project's code base into multiple repositories for exactly the reasons
you cite :) .

Unfortunately, we may not be able to
avoid it in this case because the code we're trying to integrate (and yet
make independently available) is quite small in comparison to the size
of the overall project, and cloning time is a major concern for this scenario.
We're trying to find ways to have our project development occur universally
in the main repository while using the secondary repo as a vehicle to streamline
clone time for that particular piece.

FWIW, keep in mind that having multiple repositories can
create additional work for the committers on the project, and confusion
for consumers as well. There are certainly good use cases for it, but I
think there are benefits to consolidating as much as possible. I know in
Orion project it was a burden to have multiple repositories connected in
a single CI, multiple repositories to tag with releases, multiple commits
needed when a change spans repositories, multiple readme files to maintain,
etc. It is perfectly allowed but my experience has been that generally
less repositories is better.

Hi Mark,

As a fairly extreme example (I presume), the Paho project
has 11 repositories on github and I don't believe all of the project repos
have been migrated.

A use case has come up for the OMR project
where we have a significant piece of functionality that could be consumed
both as part of the OMR project but also independently of the rest of the
OMR project. The easiest way to manage that would probably be to have it
reside in its own git repository, although we haven't decided 100% that's
the way to go.

Just testing the waters on that solution: is it possible for an Eclipse
project to have more than one associated git repo?  Say eclipse/omr
and eclipse/omr/agentcore (where agentcore is the name of the significant
piece of functionality).

Or is that only possible with top-level projects and then creating a sub-project?
