I used to structure my Subversion repositories this way. In retrospect, it's hard to see a particularly good reason for it -- at least in my case, I never did the sort of cross-project reuse that it would have facilitated. I certainly don't see it as a reason to avoid Git. If you still want to do this, git-subtree looks like it might be the right tool.
