Hi
Yes it certainly is possible. Eclipse as a whole has many
projects with many repos. The Eclipse platform project has
multiple repos.
However I see major trade-offs
- multiple repos is a pain for usage and especially for users
- multiple repos might be faster once they have grown, but I have
not seen performance data
- multiple repos may need cross-repo commits.
- changing repo organisation is a pain all round
I really wouldn't recommend using multiple repos until you have
demonstrated that they are beneficial for you.
Xtext decided to change to multiple repos with the result that my
workspace doesn't work any more and I don't have time to sort out
what changed. The platform has multiple repos so that I can never
find what I want. (OOMPH provides a repo finder.)
IMHO, multiple repos provides a significant impediment to your
casual users.

Hi guys,
I have a simple question about git repositories,
It is possible to have multiple repos for each
component of a single Eclipse project?
I mean in the case the complexity of the project
grows I think having different repos for the different modules
can help.
It is possible?
