Re: Multiple remote repositories?

Actually, subversion is heavily optmized for this.

All development paths/tags/branches are directories.

Every copy of a development barnch is a cheap copy. (Copy on write as opposed
to copy on request).

Merge across from one directory to the other. Switch from one development
branch to another. The list goes on and on.

I would recommend you look at te subversion book. It highlights a lot of this.

Do the repositories need to be hosted in a distributed fashion?

If they're centralized, subversion is awesome for it.

If they're not centralized, you can use tools that are being built to handle
the decentralization.

My 2c. Stick w/ subversion. You'll never look back. lol :)
