Difference between repository and directory

I feel that this has the potential to go off-topic.
@klein Would you mind terribly to split the threads starting with this post, please?
@LinasSimonis first post is a valid suggestion, so I think it should still show up in the main thread.

Linas, I do think that a tutorial / FAQ on the differences between a directory and a repository is a good idea.
What would we include in it though?
Do you feel comfortable writing a tutorial on the subject?
I do have a general understanding of it, but there is nuance to the matter that I do not feel comfortable covering without first receiving input from Tim and Invisnet in particular and others in general.
If you do feel well-versed enough, would you mind drafting it out?

It is also going to be hectic for a week or two on my side and although I make an effort to pop around, I won’t be able to spend hours daily.
I committed to completing a different document / post first and I would like to get that right before taking on something else (other than having informal brain-storming discussions that can be refined later).
