If you want to segment your work into ``public'' and ``non-public'' then you should at least segment your work into two repositories: ``public'' and ``non-public''. But you really should segment your repository to a project-by-project basis. That is each project should have its own repository. That said if there are many files which will have identical content across many projects you may be able to save disk space by placing all objects into a single object directory; but that's entirely independent of project organization. Unlike CVS, Subversions, etc. GIT repositories are dirt-cheap to create. Don't think twice about creating a different repository for a new project. I think I'm up on about 50 repositories at this point; however each one is typically less than a megabyte in total size. -- Shawn. - : send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
