If you had one package on each branch, cloning the repository would bring down all of the packages together, because all of the branches in a git repository are fetched when you clone. Keeping unrelated code in different branches in the same repo is a bit weird in Git, and is not generally done; it almost always makes more sense to use a separate repo for each code base. Paul
