Ok, but some things have changed since we moved from gitorious to our own solution, which might be relevant. We now have redmine. Redmine is used to create the structure we need, as in extragear, playground, kdereview and the main modules. This means that moving an application from playground to kdereview to extragear is as easy as reparanting the project page to the right parent (kdereview and after that extragear). But this gets complicated when all apps are into one big module based repository. Moving KMail from kdepim to extragear would not be possible while preserving the history. This is imho important to know and consider. Also note that for the future (when and if are very big unknowns, but I think that thinking ahead might be good) we are starting to use the bugs feature of redmine, closing bugs with commits is only possible within a project. So if the repository is added to the 'kdepim' project and the bug is assigned to the 'kmail' project - while kmail is a child of kdepim in the hyrarchy - it is not possible to close the bug within a commit. We would obviously change redmine for that, without much chance of upstreaming that. Note, i don't want to bikeshed or whatever, I just want this to be known. Especially the first point is important I think, using 1 repository per app would make life a lot easier in this particular area.
