Hmm, I'd say size shouldn't matter too much. I'm in favour of retaining
all the history. These days 300 MB isn't much (fits on a CD ;-)

That disclaimer applies for me, too.

If you split the project into sub-projects and later refactor something,
then files might move from one sub-project to another. In that case
history for the moved files is probably lost (or can hg retain history
when moving from one repo to another? I know svn can't.).
So this *might* mean that we're back to old CVS days when moving files
for restructuring the repo can't be done in certain cases (umm in *all*
cases for cvs :-)...

So when really deciding to split, future refactoring should be kept in
mind.

Whats wrong with keeping a big project with subdirectories containing
individual subprojects?

Just my .02
