Keep in mind that the monolithic cookbook repository is not wrong, and 
we've committed to supporting it:

https://github.com/chef/chef-rfc/blob/master/rfc019-chef-workflows.md

You should switch only if you can see where the workflow improves for 
you.  If not, you'll buy yourself a lot more management cost (more git 
repos, more per-repo files to synchronize across multiple repos) and if 
there's no other benefit, then you'll spend the costs of switching plus 
the additional per-repo maintenance, for no gain. If you want to do CI 
and test cookbooks in isolation and you want to break up the monolithic 
repo to avoid having engineers stepping on each other toes when doing 
edits to the single repo or stuff like that, then it makes sense.  If 
its just you, it may not make sense.
