Since code hosting now supports Mercurial with multiple repositories, I'd like to know whether a particular use case is acceptable:
I (like many others, I suppose) have a lot of small, personal repositories locally containing various tiny programs I've made for some purpose, as well as the initial stages of what might turn out to be larger projects. It's not reasonable to create a new project on code hosting for what may never be more than a tiny library with a very restricted audience, especially if I have dozens of such libraries, but it would be nice to have a place to put such things and make them available. A fairly good solution would be to use a single project on code hosting for all of these, and just create multiple repositories for each subproject, but this doesn't seem to be quite the intended purpose of the service. So, granted that all these bits of code are open source (and, for the sake of argument, all provided under the same license): 1. Is it acceptable to make a project full of unrelated things, in this fashion? 2. If so, is there any upper limit on how many repositories a project can have? Based on what I imagine to be the expected use of these, I'd guess the limit is fairly generous, if it exists, but I'd still like to know. Either way, I'd like to suggest that this use case be considered--if it were possible to create repositories associated with a user, but not a project, this would probably be ideal; a simple server-side method for converting 'personal' repositories to full projects should they develop into something more substantial would be nice, though hardly necessary, since all that's required is to push to the newly-created project.
