  It will be module individual ttb - that is the default, and I think the best 
way to go - keeps things like branches and what not a bit more managable.

  This also matches the current CVS setup - there are different top level 
entries that can be checked out.

  SVN does present some more options, since external references can be done, 
etc.   I'm not sure how much use an ability to check out all the main trunks 
would get used - maybe for the home hacker.  But I imagine for most public 
servers, they probably don't want the editor or client, etc.

  But I suppose there is no real harm to add something like that, whether or not 
people use it or not.
