SVN doesn't have a concept of modules, instead it would simply be
directories containing each, but one can check out an individual
directory just as easily as if it was a module, and acts for most
intents as a module. Due to that, a the revision number would increment
as you say, regardless of if we leave the collected archetypes out or
not. IMHO that's not a bad thing, as much as simply the way things are.

Or perhaps "cfserver" instead and make the client "cfclient"?
