Why use only one repository? If you have one repo per project, 
requirements such as yours become much easier to handle. It is also 
easier to maintain projects: Filtering a repo dump to remove bad 
commit data, archiving and taking a project offline, mirroring a 
specific project to another location, not taking all projects down if 
there is repo corruption or other repo down time, etc....

From the client side, there is not much apparent difference between 
one repo and many repos, but from an admin perspective, I can't see 
much to recommend having only one repo. Unless you like writing 
complex hook scripts ;-)
