No, I want this:

kdelibs# work...
kdelibs# commit -m "New API"
kdelibs# work...
kdelibs# commit -m "Adapt kdelibs to new API"
kdelibs# cd ../kdegames
kdegames# work...
kdegames# commit -m "Adapt kdegames to new API"
kdegames# cd ..
KDE# push all changes

I want all changes to be pushed in one go or not at all. I know this gets 
difficult if you work across modules because you must make sure you have the 
latest version in all of them and everytime someone commits, you have to 
merge their changes and push again.

This is the same as if I were merging a branch: if that branch was previously 
pushed, just mark as a merge. If they hadn't been pushed yet, then push them 
together with my commits.
