Tom as you know, I fully agree now to have split repos for digikam.
The point discussed in this thread here was to have 1 repository with:
- okular
- gwenview
- kolourpaint
- kruler
- ksnapshot
- strigi-analyzer
- libksane
- libkdcraw
- libkexiv2
- libkipi
in the very same repository.
which looks like a pretty similar idea to me.

Summarizing what I learnt so far:
- there are advantages to have small, agile repositories
- there are means on a different technical level than "git repository"
to group applications and libs to a module
- splitting a project in git repositories is not a social, but a merely 
technical measure

leads me to the conclusion that kdegraphics should end up in split repos as 
well, maybe also with a shallow superproject repo, at least temporarily.
