I've voted with 1 repository per project.
If a repository with 1,000 projects in it gets hosed, you'd lose 1,000
projects.
If a repository with 1 project in it gets hosed, you'd lose 1 project.
Even with backups, do you want the developers of 999 projects waiting
while you
restore a repository to fix an issue with 1?
