Hi Adam,

I am certain that a more experienced giter will correct me where I err, but I believe that that would only be the case if you put x1 in a single repository.

Will anybody actually need to have the entirety of x1?

The best thing to do would be to create a separate repository for each project, then if needed, create a repository for x1 which has all the other repositories as submodules if you need a single repository containing all the others.

You can enter "git help submodule" for the man page on submodules.

Regards, Tim
