They do not need to be the same.
They don't have to be the same, but maven assumes they are. If you
deviate from that you have to do things like put a full scmUrl in
every pom because it can't be "inherited" correctly. Without an
valid scmUrl (among other things ) you can't hook an m2 project into
Continuum.
Not a requirement, but I certainly don't want to be the one updating
scmUrls in 70 different poms each time we branch or tag :)

I do think that is is probably a good idea if they are the same, just
so you know where to find the module that build some jar, but in some
cases, with really nested structures it becomes more unmanageable to
keep the directory name and the artifactId the same.
