It's not part of GNU LilyPond, it was just the most convenient place to 
put the CVS repository at the time.

A single repository is easier for distribution: only one repo to manage 
access rights, backup etc. for.  When developing with GIT, one usually 
keeps one branch of the repo checked out. This means that when 
developing, you'd typically have one repo per subproject.
