A git repo has to be seen like a monolithic piece of code with its full history. If Mayhem components are aiming to have completely different lifecycle with their own release independent, then many git repos would be needed. I tend to think that 'Less is more', that 'git is now a defacto standard', and that releasing all Mayhem components at the same time, with the same version number (even if there is no change for some of them) is easier for the user. But I am perfectly fine with SVN, except that we would create a structure more difficult to migrate to git later on.
