Here's the clue. All modules that share release schedule/versioning CAN be in the same repository. All modules that have distinct schedules SHOULD be in separate repositories.

I +1 this comment. If your module share a not only a common release cadence, but common version number then a single git repository works, but if/when they change one really should look at separate repositories.

The main reasons for this revolve around the maven-release-plugin ( assuming you're using the standard release setup ) in that m-r-p really likes to release from the root of the repository [1] and because of git's repository wide tagging setup ( globally tagging all modules with the version details of individual things gets quite noisy, and problematic if you need to do back-port fixes on an individual module.

[1] I believe the forth-coming m-r-p 2.5 release has some bug fixes around this, but not sure of the details.
