I think if you want the same atomic moves and moves-with-history that you get 
with ONE repository in subversion, that you'll probably need to go with ONE 
repository for git.

I'm not convinced that we must decide how to split before we can move to git.  
I'm not even sure splitting is a good idea, if git can be extended with narrow 
and shallow clones.  That seems like something the git developers are already 
interested in so it might be better to put developer time toward that instead 
of some KDE SC-specific build system to weave all the splitting back together.

I'm not a KDE developer though, so I'm not the one that needs convincing.  
With as little time as I have right now, I'm just an observer.
