Yes you did, why do you repeat it?

An application can be created in a new repo and the staging areas we used 
before will become less of an issue after moving to git.  Not really a big 
need to have a review area etc if the app is one repo.
If it gets ok-ed for inclusion in one of the big modules its entirely 
possible to move it in there without loss of history.

But all this is not really an issue for the conversion, this is an issue to 
discuss after we moved to Git and it likely not be decided on this list.
