  Ugh. What now?
  We'd /really/ like to switch to svn. Hwoever, we would
  need some way to use it so that it fits our needs, not
  the other way around.
  Lemme recap:

  We have several projects considerable parts of which
  are shared between them. Developers are hacking away
  on those projects including the shared code, and have
  to check in changes in the shared parts as well as in
  the project-specific parts of the code. When projects
  get tagged, the shared parts should get the same tag.

  Any ideas out there?
