It is a bad idea to have a single repository with one source package per directory under git for many reasons: what doesn't outright break, becomes awkward and slower due to the need to restrict git by pathspec everywhere. It is also error-prone (git operates repository-wide), and a major waste of resources in the developer side (network and storage) unless everyone in the team is always working on everything. Please seriously consider using the dgit recommended layout, and one repository per source package. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
