Repository boundaries are affected far more by the social structure of your organisation than anything technical.
Do you want hard boundaries between teams — clear responsibilities with formal ceremony across boundaries, but at the expense of living with inflexibility?
Do you want fluidity in engineering, without fixed silos and a flat org structure that encourages anyone to take on anything that’s important to the business right now, but with the much bigger overhead of needing strong people leaders capable of herding the chaos?
I’m sure there are dozens of other examples of org structures and how they are reflected in code layout, repo layout, shared directories, dropboxes, chat channels, and email groups etc.
