His reasoning sounds very odd to me. What about sharing stuff between different apps? There's nothing in django that says a single app should be in a repo. The point of an app is that it's portable and can be moved around and other apps can use parts of it as needed. Repo setup depends on what changes you will need to share, if you're absolutely sure you'll only need to work on one app and it won't use anything from other apps, and you won't need to add custom app settings to settings.py, I guess it's ok but I don't see the point. For what its worth, I've been working with repos that contained django projects in two places and it works just fine. (and in fact it wouldn't work otherwise for the reasons I mentioned.) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
