What about this:
Create a folder D in the repository. It can be empty - I use it to
store files common to A, B and C.
Check out D to your hard drive (c:\WC} and create the folders for the
projects you need (say: c:\WC\B and c:\WC\C). Check out trunk/B to
c:\WC\B and trunk/c to c:\WC\C.
You now have working copies inside a working copy (nested WCs).
You can use c:\WC\B and c:\WC\C like any "normal" working copy. In case
you need to commit a change that affects both B and C, you can multi-select
both WCs and commit them together in a single revision. Or do the same
by selecting "commit" on any WC and drag and drop the changes from the
other WC to the commit dialog.
Kind regards
Sven
