Thanks for your feedback.

The basic rule for choosing how to divide your CVS repository into one
or more Git repositories is as follows:

Each Git repository should cover a single "project", where a project is
a part of the source that is typically branched and tagged as a unit.

This is the same criterion for deciding how to break up a CVS repository
into a single-project vs. multi-project Subversion repository.

Why don't you propose a patch to the documentation that you think would
have made this clearer to you?

Thanks,
Michael
