Ok, i had not understood what you meant here until now.

And it's bad, you shouldn't do that.

I understand that there may be some common history between the plugins and the 
rest of the repo, but having different codebases in the same repo under 
different branches is not good.

But right now the kopete repo is a mess where there are diverging branches 
both active as development, so 'master' gets "kopete development" and 'plugin-
cryptography' gets "cryptography developemtn" and 'plugin-cryptography-doc' 
gets "doc cryptography developemtn", etc.

This is not how we use gut, each repo has various branches but they are all 
"the same code", your setup may work for you (and of course it's a valid way 
to use git), but it's breaking all the use cases for scripts, tools and 
understandings of "how things work" that we in KDE have been setting up in the 
past.

I'd sincerely appreciate if you could make each thing that has it's own entity 
have it's separate own repo.

Cheers,
  Albert
