I also don't mind strongly either way. I suggested having multiple
repositories mainly because it allows to have different workflows for
every repository.
It also seems more logic to have a different repository for every project,
when you're looking for something you check the list of repositories
and do a checkout of what you need.
For people who like having a checkout of everything as if it were a big
repo, there are tools like 'myrepos'. See an example at [1]
We can also go for an intermediary option. Migrate the current subversion
repository as a unique repository and keep other projects in their
own repos as is the case for the timeline.
For the record, once the git migration is done, I would also like to migrate
the debbits repo together with the publicity ones, but in a separate git repository.
