This is a manual that describes how to use the OpenStack project infrastructure. As the TC changes its mind on what words to use for what things, and redefines words to mean new things, this manual does not need to be updated to match. That the TC happens to use the word "project" to mean something in organizing its governance structure one day, but not the next, has little relation to how our tools are configured. Gerrit has an understanding of "projects". So does "zuul". It will be better for us to use the terminology we have traditionally used and that many of our tools and users use. We can certainly use the term "repository" when there might legitimately be confusion. But let us not force the manual into incomprehensibility by blindly adopting TC terminology where it is not needed. This is a partial revert of I574ab8e2c94eadce76cff9f7ea561dfa5d28b89c. However, that change did add many useful clarifications, so it is not a full revert. In short, I believe that this manual should use the common term "project" in almost all cases. The term "project" refers to the overall idea that there is a bunch of people working on a bunch of code/text/etc. It can also refer to that actual collection of code/text/etc (for instance, a project can be bundled up into a tarball, and extracted into a directory). When a tool interacts with that collection of code/text/etc, it interacts with the project (even if it does so via the mechanism of git). There are times when one needs to refer to the actual source code management system of the project, that is, "git", and the actual technical implementations of that SCM. In those cases where it is important to distinguish the actual attributes of the SCM from the project, it is useful to use the word "repository".
