Pro: you can move files between modules without losing history if the
two modules reside in the same repository.

Con: putting lots of stuff in a single repository probably increases the
chances of lock contention.

Given the limitations of Subversion, it would make a lot of sense to use
single repositories for sets of modules where code is likely to get
copied/moved.
