title: Trying to understand the difference between git repos and vss database
body: <p>I've been a Visual SourceSafe user for years and for obvious reasons I'm trying to make the change to git.  I've downloaded and have been trying the git extensions for Visual Studio 2012.  I have a few questions that I hope someone can help me with.</p>
  
  <p>Using the git extension, when I add my VS solution to source control it creates a git repository in the directory where my project is stored.  With VSS I'm accustomed to all of my projects residing in the same repository.  With git, it seems that I get a repository per project/solution.  Is this typical or am I doing something wrong?</p>
  
  <p>Also, when I have a solution with multiple projects and I add source control, the main project is added to a git repository (again, it's own repository) but the referenced projects do not get included...I have to then add them to source control individually, again they get their own repo in their corresponding project folder.</p>
  
  <p>So with git is there a repository per project rather than a repository that holds multiple projects?  </p>
  
  <p>Is there a resource available to help VSS users make the mental shift to git?  A git for dummies (er, vss users) video/blog/book would be helpful.  </p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
