Svn, for example,
doesn't have the concept of "modules" - you either get the whole tree,

specific date. Svn also needs twice the local disk space.
I'm wondering how git and svn compare... nirvana-wise
I've been using svn some lately to keep my circuit design work in. There seems
to be a way to deal with just sub directories of a tree, after you have the
whole tree. If you move that subdir to a new place, it still functions as a svn
working copy of that much of the tree, and you could then delete the rest with
no impact on the repository. I've not noticed any quick way to break a
repository into chunks after making it. I think that could be done by taking a
section of updated working copy and stripping out all .svn dirs, then import it
into a new subdir of the same repository. That would result in a repository
with two top dirs, I think. After that tested out OK, the copied original dir
could be svn deleted. The history of it and repository filesize would still be
there. The new history would start off in the new repository dir.
