OK - would you mind explaining your usage scenario?
Maybe it is possible to find a different solution to meet
your requirements.

The only scenario that comes to my mind ATM is to distribute
the content over multiple partitions/disks, but this would
probably only be necessary if there are millions of documents.
And in this case it should IMO be a concern of the repository
service.

Another one could be to store the content in the publication
source directory, which would make it easier to put it into
the same SVN repo. But this could be managed by checking out
the content directory in another location as well.

The publication could still be self-contained:

  /data
     /pub1
        /content
        /access-control
        /search-index
        /...
     /pub2
        /content
        /...

OTOH, I can imagine to have global data repositories, which could
simplify multi-site publishing. But this is certainly something
for 1.6 or later.
