Kathryn- Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you mean, but I think you have this exactly backwards. The "svn-centric thinking" is what's inspired someone to put multiple projects in the same repository. AFAIK, this is simply not supported by git, i.e. there's no way to clone, branch or tag _part_ of a repository.
I am by no means a git expert, so I could be mistaken about this.
