I believe having each group as its own repository is pretty
crucial in some cases. Some situations could call for
administrators only responsible for one group of devices to be
emailed, called, etc when configurations have been changed. With
each group as an autonomous repo, that's very easy with plugging
in the proper hooks or other ways.<br>
<br>
Another situation would be when using a git frontend, like a lot
of enterprises do. I find that it'd be undesirable to have all
RANCID groups under one project. It'd be much more desirable to
have each group as a project with their own sets of permissions
and what ever other management methods pertain to the frontend in
question. This is a particular issue I'm running into because I'm
using rancid-git and I'd like to play with the idea of having
several groups for different customers we have as an MSP. A lot of
control is lost when under the same repository. <br>
<br>
If I could suggest, I think an option for creating autonomous
repositories for each group should be available to the
administrator to decide. <br>
