You can't really fake it. Many of the projects in Mozilla are
dependent on each other. If you break them up into separate
repositories you lose the ability to do a cross project commit. This
is common when you are changing an interface between the subprojects.

In many projects this is handled by having tags and generally
versioning modules and interfaces. Being independent gives the
subprojects/modules a lot more freedom to work/branch on wild
tangents, and the versioned interfaces mean that -- with the
contraints of the versioned interfaces -- you can mix and match
branches/releases of the different subprojects.

In short, I'd definitely break those up :-)
