Just before, I found exactly this thread... :-)
What I need, is something, somebody called "matrix"-organization.
Somebody wrote something funny about it, that the "matrix" approach
wasn't understood by his wife, but the svn approach was understood. But
what we need is not a housewife SCM, we (around 25 software developers)
need a SCM for professional embedded system development.

I try to explain our need in the attached gif.
What I see is, that the development of _each_ SCM I have seen is too
much centered on classical pc-application development, whre you just
have to deal with a very small number of branches. And that there is
always a main-line in development. They all struggle, when the
repository just have to provide a framework, where you put the suitable
functions out of it.

I think that I can get pretty much to the matrix structure with svn
externals- when I put everything what belongs together into a directory
and make a directory for each project. so far, this solves the
"collection" step.
Now, when I make sure that new branches are done by svn-copy, i have
pretty much what I want, with one exception: I want to log in a easy way
from some "base" revision of a module to each branch of it. as I see
it, this is only done by some extra work around. What I ask is now, when
SVN has a database-backend, why is it so a big hustle that something
knows that it has been copied? why does only the copy knows where it
comes from. Can somebody explain why this is like that?
