This is the #1 problem I have moving from SVN to Git. With SVN, everything is just in one repo. I can atomically commit to multiple related projects. If i split up projects into individual Git repos, everything is suddenly more complicated. Keeping dozens of projects in the same Git repo avoids this problem, but now developers are forced to clone projects they don't use.

I'm a Git novice, maybe managing submodules isn't as bad as it seems to me or the author of this article. What is your experience?

If you have multiple related projects that you release together, you might be interested in Google's repo[1]. That's the tool used in Android (where each app and piece of framework has it's own git repository).
