You mean different repositories? Yes, you can do it that way, but then you 
have to deal with people checking out branches in different places.

E.g., if I have a GUI for some code, and the back end, (or the kernel and a 
bunch of drivers,) I might want to have them both in the same tree because 
they make references to files via relative paths, but I might want to be 
able to compile the back end without compiling the GUI.
