Silly question: why are you moving things around?

Perhaps I misread something, but it seemed that devs prefer to have
the different repos in separate folders.
Aka something like
for repo in $repos; do
    mv .../old/to/old/repo/$repo .../new/to/newrepo/$repo
done

The repo you're prepared looks quite messy IMHO.
