And what's wrong with making kdereview (or review) or extragear or playground 
being git branches of module in question?
Moving apps between those is trivial in such case - it also preserves whole 
history of course. Having separate repository for kdereview sounds suboptimal 
(with git).
That being said I cannot think of any disadvantages of module per repo 
configuration other than repo size considerations.
