Having been forced to live with github for some time now without
concerns as to it's problems, I've been using Hg locally with hggit as
an interface. thg provides a very friendly cross platform GUI interface
and I have most of the facilities that exist still for CVS on Eclipse
via MercurialEclipse, but in all of this the one thing that has been
lost is the very tidy way that CVS provided support for modular code
suites.

sub-repos are not popular and don't replace the mechanisms that were
available where you select a sub-set of code modules for a particular
job. Both Git and Hg seem to assume that using modular code is the wrong
way of working and that everything should be in the one repository :(
