I guess you have each project in its own repository? Ok.

The strategy is that each project, and each module, has its own release schedule. So if you make a change to module_1234, then you release (i.e. tag) a new version of module_1234. And then, as a second step, for each project that uses module_1234, you update that project to use that new version of that module. This implies that the external defined in each project does not refer to the module's trunk but to a tag of that module. So at minimum you'd update the external definition to point to the new version of the module. Possibly, you'd also need to make other changes to the project, if you've changed the module's interface or added new functionality to the module that you now want to use in the project.

Also solved by the above since now there is a commit in the project's repository whenever you switch to a new version of the module.
