You address it by not having one module or project be one subversion
repository. Effectively you could make the top level directories of four
subversion repository be equivalent to CVS modules, or you can impose
any other tree structure you wish.
It is trivial to divide a repository into separate projects, and manage
multiple projects in a single repository. The most difficult part we
found was finding a workable directory structure standard, getting 20
software engineers to agree on it, and then enforcing it.
Here we have one repository for all of our software projects ( and there
are quite a few), and one repository for our hardware engineers, who
store and manage FPGA code there.
