    <p>I am currently working on a project to convert a number of Excel VBA powered workbooks to VSTO solutions. All of the workbooks will share a number of class libraries and third party assemblies, in fact most of the work is done in the class libraries. I currently have my folder structure laid out like this.</p> <pre><code>Base Libraries Assemblies Workbooks Workbook1 Workbook2 </code></pre> <p>Each of the workbooks will be its own solution, and the workbook solutions just reference the assemblies in the folder structure. My question is how would you lay out the source control? Would you start the repository at the base? Or would you create a repository for each workbook solution? Would you rearrange the folders? </p> <p>Now that we have the initial development done, we're about to have a bunch of outside developers come on to the project to helps us convert the rest of the workbooks and I really like the idea of them being able to check out from the base directory and having all of the dependencies ready to go. I also worry that there are other concerns that come with having 20+ solutions/projects under one source control repository. </p> <p>I want everything to be as simple as possible for people joining the project but I don't want to sacrifice long term usability. In my mind I've been going back and forth, what's simpler one repository or one repository per solution?</p> <p>I'd appreciate and insight you have, because I'm fresh out. </p> <p>Additional Information: Currently, I am using Mercurial personally, but the project will probably get moved to StarTeam unless I can make some convincing arguments for something else.</p>
