If you change two files in two of those repos how are you going to handle checkins? How are you going to insure that if you need to rebuild a delivered laydown (one or more binaries) that you will be able to reliably reproduce the original binary?
Kevin Marois wrote: What am I doing wrong here?
Not managing Git as intended?
A git repo is a deliverable.
So your new project should be using 4 deliverables not 4 repos. Each repo should be independently worked and then a binary is released. With a version number. Your project uses the binary and specifies it via the version number.
In contrast there are other version control systems that allows one to manage deliverables from one single location. You can, for example, independently label parts of those any way you want. And then combine into another deliverable either by combining labels or just take the tip of everything. You can even label individual files.
But other than that as others have mentioned you need a new repo.

Seems that the Internet Archive (The Wayback Machine) are undergoing a DDoS attack. The only possible reason I can think of for that is there is some company or gov that has something to hide.
I often find myself going to the Wayback Machine to verify what a big corporate once said.
That sources of history are being attacked is worrying, to say the least. What can we as a group do to protect a verifiable source of truth?
Here's one suggestion: Help them to go distributed.
I'm an old veteran programmer (35 years), and am mostly out of it now, although I still do some DB and embedded stuff, but I'm not up on the recent stuff.
We need people to step up and help protect the history stored by the IA and the WBM, or bad actors will erase it, or prevent access to it. Can you say 'George Orwell' ?

I go there quite often, wouldn't want to see anything happen to them.
If you can't find time to do it right the first time, how are you going to find time to do it again?

subject obviously stolen...so let continue stealing
When in the Course of human events, it
became noticeable that society is not willing to manage itself
smart layers will see the money making opportunity and make rules and laws.
In my opinion, each and every AI assisted text , message , chat ( especially ) etc
MUST be required , by law, to be identified as such:
"This was produced by/ with an aid of AI, caveat emptor "
This rant was not build using AI ( can you tell ?)

Trouble is that that's like having an "Are you 18?" page on a naughty website with two buttons: "I'm 18 or over, let me in" and "I'm under 18, I'll go away now" and expecting anyone ever to press the second one ...
Since we don't have any proper real-world identification with the internet, many feel free to do or say what they want: plagiarise from people or AI, troll, or attempt to destroy. Who is going to arrest them if the AI is in China and he hands it in as his own work in the USA?
Laws that can't or won't be enforced are worse than useless - they undermine the fabric of "real laws".

It could be a requirement of the code that all copy/pasted material include an indelible "watermark". So to use it without the mark, you'd have to type it out yourself.
Of course this would usher in another challenge of creating apps to remove the watermark, but with this logic, why bother with even locking your doors?

How do you propose we add a watermark to text?

Obvious that the rant was not produced by AI. Because today's AI would'nt produce such a typo.

As non-native English speakers, we have an advantage: We don't know 'The Right Way' of speaking English. We do not frown at neither Indian English, Australian, US or Oxford English. When I speak with Indians (there were 3-4 of them in my last job), it took me a week after a vacation to get back into their special pronunciation and wordings. Going to the US of A, it may take me a day or two to get into Americanisms. Years ago, I had a Scottish coworker who sometimes was away for a few months. When he returned, I really had to concentrate to understand his speaking for the first two days - but he insisted that he didn't speak English, but Scottish .
Certainly, most Americans are quite tolerant about variants of English (you have to be ) - but certainly not everyone. Maybe the percentage of intolerant British really is higher, but on the other hand, out of politeness they don't say anything; they just signal their dismay through body language.

Speaking of Australian English experiences, there's a humorous incident commonly quoted here. (Not to offend anyone)
An Indian cricketer landed in Sydney and went to the hotel receptionist to check in. Here's the conversation:
Receptionist: Did you come here to die?
Indian cricketer: Er... Well... I came here to live, and to play.
Only later did the Indian cricketer realize that 'today' was pronounced as 'to die'.

In India itself, there are several variants of English.
I speak Kinglish (Kannada + English). Then there is Hinglish (Hindi + English). There are also Tamil + English, Malayalam + English, and many others.

I guess it was Kinglish that I was exposed to in Bangalore. As a very small child, born in Mussoorie, I spoke a mixture of Urdu and English. But I soon lost that when we left and came to England.
