With git the canonical approach, such that it is, is for each
component to be its own repo. You then tie the repos together into a
project using submodules:

- http://progit.org/book/ch6-6.html
- http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-submodule.html

However, submodules can be a challenge to work with, and so there have
been other attempts at tying multiple repos together such as:

- http://source.android.com/source/git-repo.html
- https://github.com/apenwarr/git-subtree
