[CONTENT] "Multi-repo" instead of "Polyrepo"
Multi-repo is a better term for the alternative to polyrepo.
- Based on github searches multi-repo is used a lot more than polyrepo (Google as well, including other popular contributors calling it this)
Poly-prefix has confusing similar terms, e.g. a polyglot speaks multiple languages, so a polyrepo might be a repo with multiple languagesMulti-however has terms like multiplayer, makes people instantly think "multiple repos"
Although the choice to hyphenate or not is confusing.
