Excuse me butting in, but I suspect I'm going to want to think about
this sort of thing at some point, as well...

Assuming I went for the "one big repository" approach, is it
easy/possible to later split off a part of the whole (say, one
project) into its own repository, while preserving history?

Given that this isn't possible with something like Subversion, it'd be
hard to claim that it was a "problem" with Mercurial if I couldn't do
this, but it would be neat if it could :-)

Thanks,
Paul.
