Thank you very much for putting in the effort to make these repositories 
public.

Using the openbmc/google-misc approach, how would the git history 
(commit log) be handled?

Personally, I would prefer having small repositories as git makes that 
very easy to handle. Also it might save you time, as you do not have to 
think about what to do with the git history, and do not have to merge it.


Kind regards,

Paul
