(Without answering to Bruno's suggestion)

I think we don't need the distinction between git-repos and hg-repos  
etc.; instead, there could be a single directory "repos" that contains  
all those repositories that don't fit into the arrangement structure.   
You could also place a README file into this directory, explaining in  
a few lines why this directory is there.

We want to hide the distinction between different repository types as  
much as possible.
