Maybe I have misunderstood what you mean by not splitting
repositories.  Are you suggesting the whole kdelibs, kdesupport,
kdepimlibs, kdeutils, kdegames, etc will be in a single repository?
Wouldn't that be huge?

Even if there is a split on modules (kdelibs.git, kdesupport.git,
kdegames.git, etc), think about the images, sounds, etc which will
never be erased. What would happen after 5 years working with git?
Unless I am wrong, when you will clone a repository, you would be
cloning all the code, images, sounds, etc committed in those 5 years?

IIRC you imported all the svn history. How much would the clone size
be? I can't imagine cloning 2 million commits when I want to clone
kdelibs.git by 2015 :-O
