Hi Sylvain, Unless people expect bits of the two repos to migragrate from one to the other, I don't see much point in keeping the files in a single repository -- assuming they're logically independent. However, if one calls functions in the other, it might make more sense to put them under the same roof; then it's easier to coordinate changes in one that affect uses in the other. However, perhaps there is room for a compromise if you're willing to use a recent version of git, since it now has minimal submodule support. However, note that I've only noticed the new feature, and haven't used it.
