Very well, I just gave it a try.

I understand, but in this case there are no ambiguities, because my src/conf/eclipse_projects/project1 package does not contain a src directory of its own. Instead I am trying to "mount" my src directory rooted somewhere else into that location. Would it help to somehow explicitly disallow any possible src subdirectory of src/conf/eclipse_projects/project1 to be checked out as part of my virtual module? Could I "mount" my other src directory into the virtual module's root? Unique CVS/Repository entries could then be structurally guaranteed. (Just speculating and hoping, sorry.)
