The OP mentioned many independent projects that all make use of a
shared project. I see that pattern a lot,and I don't think it is a
bad practice in general.

I usually use svn:externals to build a workspace when I have that
situation. So I will have a ProjectXWorkspace folder in subversion
that pulls in 'ProjectX' and 'CommonCode' under a single parent
directory, the workspace folder in subversion may not have any
childred at all, just the svn:externals property, though sometimes it
has a build script or README. I only wish that svn:internals or
some other equivalent for server-side symbolic links would get
implemented so this would work a bit better. (no I don't have time
to submit a patch :) )
