Well, git was intentionally written to be basically a state machine of
the entire project.  So, housing more than one project in a single git
repo isn't wrong, but it does tie your various projects together at the
state machine level.  This is why you can't checkout just one
subdirectory from git, you have to grab the entire project.  I think I
heard mumblings of someone wanting to make subprojects work nicely in
git, but I haven't heard if it ever got off the ground.

Regardless though, koji won't work with what your current SCM layout
without modification to the koji code.
