I'm not convinced that's very different from having one repo with
everything but some pieces in refs that aren't fetched by default. Maybe
separate repos make fetching a bit more efficient if it allows packs to be
reused on the server, but they also mean extra administrative overhead
ensuring the correct configuration for each repo (for public access, not
allowing pushes to the historical repo, etc.).
