Putting all the packages into one git repo is ok as an initial implementation, but it isn't what we really want for NonGNU ELPA. It is meant to be a place where we will distribute/release packages side by side -- not a hosting facility. I think we will have to change the structure. Perhaps it should be a collection of git repos, one for each package, as subdirectories of the main directory.
