Keep in mind, though, that even if eclipse-build were a subdirectory in the
same tree as the rest of Linux Tools, you could still view the log only for
that directory by saying 'git log eclipse-build'.  It's faster to execute
than it is to type.  ;-)


As a non-Linux tooler, I think this is an important point.

If I were you I'd be tempted to start with one repo. You can always split
projects out later at no cost or effort. Importantly egit history view will
correctly show commits filtered by the 'eclipse-build' project as you'd
expect.

I am not a developer for Linux Tools, but I'll interject in this discussion
briefly to mention that you don't necessarily need a separate repository for
eclipse-build.  You can have more than one root commit in a git object
database.  I don't know if that would really offer any advantages over
having two separate repositories, though it might make it slightly nicer if
you ever have reason to move/copy code between eclipse-build and the rest of
the projects.

Personally I work on very few subprojects inside LinuxTools (currently

only eclipse-build); my main concern is whether I will be able to

quickly get up to date with changes in these subprojects without having

to filter unrelated commits out of the log (from other subprojects).

 So if these separate root commits would allow me to do that, then I

think I will not have any issues with having everything in a single

repository.
