That's it exactly!  It should be a selectable feature.

It's not really so.  There is currently no self-service way to create
git sub-repositories.  It's documented as please file a ticket and a
Savannah Hacker will be happy to create one for you.  See "Creating an
additional repository" here.

Modifying the web UI to do this self-serve would also be wonderful.
