Or, if you are only concerned with committing/updating certain
subdirectories in a working copy when traveling, you don't need
different repositories for that. Just do what you need.
You could even make different 'top level' projects that that pull in
the directories you want via svn external properties. Updating from
the top level would update the whole tree of external references, but
you'd have to commit changes to them separately.
