There is. :)

The initial idea from the Digikam people was to have 1 repository with:
- digikam
- kipi-plugins
- libkface
- libkdcraw
- libkexiv2
in the very same repository.

That's what we have indicated that was a bad idea. 

That's different than the discussion we have had on this list before about splitting or not. In this case it would be combining all kinds of libs into one repo.

Best,
