My point was that the "conversion to git" and the "split repositories" do not 
have to be done at the same time.

Enhancing git to support narrow clones and keeping everything in one 
repository lets individual contributors decide which part(s) of the tree are 
important to them, while allowing atomic cross-module commits (since they are 
all in the same repository) and trivial copy/move-with-history (no special 
subtree merge required).
