Which points to the base SCM url.
I find this very much of an edge case. I've never needed, as I've never - ever
- only wanted to check out *just* a module, only the entire thing. Personally,
I do not understand such a use case. Well, I can think of one, but I'm not
going to write it here.
What I'd propose is this (short of a full and complete redesign of the SCM API
to make it MORE abstract, and move it away from it's CVS/SVN roots):
Each SCM Provider interface adds another method:
boolean isCapableOfModuleCheckout();
Git, RTC, Git, Clearcase etc would return false. AFAIK, only CVS and SVN would
return true.
If you get a method not found error, then you'd have to return true, so as to
assume consistent (old style) behaviour. This would only apply to old versions
of non apache providers that do not support the interface (are there any that
anyone knows of?).

> I have setup a simple multi module project (see
> https://github.com/mfriedenhagen/multi-module-sample/tree/multi-site-complex)
> which uses git on github as {{scm}}. While rendering the site, MPIR will by
> default add the name of the module to the SCM-URLs in source-repository.html.
> So instead of https://github.com/mfriedenhagen/multi-module-sample/ I see
> https://github.com/mfriedenhagen/multi-module-sample/core/,
> g...@github.com:mfriedenhagen/multi-module-sample.git/core and
> git://github.com/mfriedenhagen/multi-module-sample.git/core in the report for
> the core module. All these URLs are invalid. For SVN this could be assumed to
> be the right behaviour, for git and probably other SCMs this is not true. As
> a workaround I have to reconfigure the scm section (see
> https://github.com/mfriedenhagen/multi-module-sample/blob/multi-site-complex/core/pom.xml)
> in the modules like this:
> {code:xml}
> <scm>
> <connection>${project.parent.scm.connection}</connection>
>
> <developerConnection>${project.parent.scm.developerConnection}</developerConnection>
> <url>${project.parent.scm.url}</url>
> </scm>
> {code}
