I'd suggest presenting them as separate repositories. What I wanted to say that if repository with namespaces has its own not namespaced refs, then (sub)namespaces are probably forks, and "forks"-like behavior would be a good idea. If namespaced repository serves only to save space, then it wouldn't have its own refs, only namespaced ones. Then we would list them as separate repositories. -- Jakub Narebski Poland
