SVN allows to define external dependencies, where one repository will 
actually checkout another one at a specific version. If SVN does it, I 
guess any decent SCM also provide such feature.

Assuming our project is named 'common', and you have 2 projects A and B :

A
    - common@rev1

B
    - common@rev2

Project A references the lib as "A.common", B as "B.common". You need to 
be extra carefull to never reference common as 'common' in any place.
