We're still thinking about how to setup such things, but what about a layout
like:

ProjectA/
                SharedProject/ (svn:externals)
                ProjectAMain/

ProjectB/
                SharedProject/ (svn:externals)
                ProjectBMain/

MasterProject/
                SharedProject/ (svn:externals)
                ProjectAMain/ (svn:externals)
                ProjectBMain/ (svn:externals)
                MasterProjectMain/

This you could with externals without fuss, right?
