One of the alternatives, which seems to me the more common solution, is to have one repo per project (say, "project-repo").
And the other alternative, which is also quite common, is to have projects divided into sub-projects: repos which depends on other repos, this mostly happens within big projects (say, "split-repo"?).

I think this concept is tied to the version control system in use. This idea of mono-repo or project-specific repo makes sense with git but not with subversion.

In subversion, for example, everything is under a certain path and you clone something on that path, that is not feasible with git as far as I know.
You could clone /projects entirely or only /projects/p1/sub1.

When it comes to git, some companies choose to put everything in a single repository, like Google, others don't. I personally prefer a git repo per project so that I don't have to clone everything.
