Not really, because commits don't go across the entire SVN, which is what makes monorepos so powerful.

What do you mean? When you commit to svn the whole repository goes up in version number.

You are right, I was thinking of CVS.

In any case, with SVN you usually do not want to give write perms to everyone in all the tree, so you end up with effectively partitioned spaces, or you make several repos instead, or you put another layer on top. With Git, anyone can easily develop global commits.
