I'm not familiar with that, sounds cool.

Don't know what you mean, but if something doesn't work now and this
would make it work, that would be good obviously.

My only potential concern with making all new repos is:  I'm a big fan
of not losing svn history (unlike Chad).  So if we were going to do
this, IMHO we would want to do it right and make sure each new repo
wound up with all its original history intact.  So either 1) literally
copy the utilities/extensions repos N times, and then in each delete all
but the one that's supposed to stay, or 2) use the svn dumpfilter (?)
stuff to filter a dump file to get just the relevant subtree, and then
import it into a fresh repo.
