Here is my setup, please briefly tell me what would be the suggested git configuration.

The company currently use cvs, it has a cvs tree where the first directory level is per client, the second directory level is the project, then inside it we have the many artifacts, like : cvsserver/Shared/Documentation/PresentationTemplate.doc cvsserver/Shared/Documentation/AnalysisTemplate.doc cvsserver/Shared/Devel/CommonLib/* cvsserver/ClientA/ProjectA/Doc/Presentation.doc cvsserver/ClientA/ProjectA/Doc/Analysis.doc cvsserver/ClientA/ProjectA/Dev/ApplicationA/* cvsserver/ClientA/ProjectA/Dev/ApplicationB/* cvsserver/ClientA/ProjectA/Dev/ApplicationC/* cvsserver/ClientA/ProjectA/Dev/LibraryA/* cvsserver/ClientA/ProjectA/Dev/LibraryB/*

What would be the best way to represent a similar setup in git ? I was thinking of having a repository at the project level, and add atomic subdirectories (code for applications and libraries for example) as submodules. If submodule are the right way to go, can a submodule, include a submodule, for example, ApplicationA use LibraryA and CommonLib ?

Thanks,
- jfv
