I’d love to know more about the pattern of keeping each book in individual repos, rather than in a singular repo.

- remus 1y agoPresumably to keep the repo size reasonable. Say I want to make an ad hoc contribution to a book, if step 1 is "download this multi-gigabyte repo" then that's a fairly big hurdle.
- acabal 1y agoEach repo is a history of the ebook including editorial changes, typos fixes, and the like. Having a single repo containing thousands of ebooks and their histories would be pretty annoying to browse.
