This is only significant if you apply an artifical importance to
revision numbers. Revision numbers aren't meant to be used as
"checkpoints" - use tags for that. Don't get hung up on revision
numbers having real meaning.

As opposed to 400-500 smaller ones? Definitely. If you can break
those projects into logical units (by workgroup, company division,
platform, something like that) maybe 4 or 5 repositories would make
sense.
