Using a giant repository (like some people do with perforce or even svn) is not a smart move with Git. In fact, I think that it's even mentioned (or at least used to be) in the Git documentation. I've read more than one disgruntled blog post about someone who dumped their entire 60 gigabyte Perforce repo (full of binaries) to Git.

These days you can use git submodules which work quite nicely.
