Storing all of your cookbooks in the chef-repo has become somewhat of an anti-pattern. Instead, the recommendation is that you have a "chef-data" folder, which is source controlled, where you store all your roles, environments and data_bags. Next, you use a tool like Berkshelf to manage dependencies for your project cookbooks. This encourages the use of one git-repo per cookbook. 

So the file structure would look something like this:

chef-data

     environments

     roles

     data_bags

cookbooks

     projectcookbook1

     projectcookbook2

Instead of downloading and owning the community cookbooks, you'd use Berkshelf (which some describe as bundler/maven for Chef cookbooks). You can find out more about Berkshelf at berkshelf.com or by watching this ChefConf video where Jamie Winsor, the creator of Berkshelf, describes why Berkshelf was made: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYt0E84kYUI&feature=c4-overview-vl&list=PLrmstJpucjzXNMLcI5X-EjirpDd-SITd3

I think that I understood you.
I never used chef-repo before, I have read quickly some minutes before, I nee to read more to try to help you.
Basically, if I am not wrong, it makes a local repo with all cookbook that you want to manage, with the same structure of chef server.
Sorry but I need to learn more.

No sorry, because I also learned about it just now))

But I am using chef-server over a halt a year ))

I am no hurry. I will be wait, communicate and study for this task too.

Wait for a guru )
