I have an svn repo with several projects in it that I want to move to git.

Does it make more sense to import it into _one_ git repo (each project as a branch) and then push/pull/copy each branch into its own git repo, or to do the import several times, filtering the paths from svn, and generating a _separate_ git repo each time?

Cheers,

- David
