Might I suggest for the time being, to download and install the
maven-pom-plugin (
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/sandbox/trunk/plugins/maven-pom-plugin/)
and manually manage the scm fields in the projects. I know it's a hack, but
non-standard layouts tend to produce non-standard solutions. Welcome to
convention over configuration :)
