As far as CVS tracks tags/branches separatly for each file, tags abd branches 
work well for modules.

Bunch of directories is almost what I want except tags/branches/history. CVS 
does not care if two directories have separate root/repos. All it wants -is a 
properly CVS dir.

For eaxmle: I have java lib A. I setup project B in this way:
B/src/
B/A/src

Have another project C:
C/src/
C/A/src

Both of them share the same code from library's module. I can tag them, edit, 
commit: do all work I usualy do. If I change something in B/A/src this will 
be updated into C/A/src.

This is what I dreaming about :-)
