Q: Is it okay to have few projects in single git repo?

[Belorus]

Describe the issue

Subj :)

I have multiple projects with 3 components each.

Components reflect git branches (dev/release/prod).
Projects sit in same git repo, and structure is simple (same for each branch):

/project1/en_US.json
/project1/ja_JP.json
/project2/en_US.json
/project2/ja_JP.json
/project3/en_US.json
/project3/ja_JP.json

Branches (components) are merged dev -> release -> prod to follow our app git branching approach.

I have lots issues with git conflicts, and got a feeling that projects in same repo might be a bad idea. Could you please share best practices?

In documentation there is a phrase that same repo can be shared between components, but can it be shared between components AND projects?

I already tried

If your translations are done in Weblate into multiple branches, it is recommended to avoid merging translations in git and use a merge strategy that prefers branch translations when merging. See https://docs.weblate.org/en/latest/faq.html#how-do-i-translate-several-branches-at-once (or https://github.com/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin/wiki/Git#merging-translations).
