Issue with same tools in multiple products.

So we have a good problem, well good that we're far enough
along that  
it is a problem.

As we're nearing end to end testing across the products
we've quickly  
started to use the same tools and frameworks in multiple
products.  
Since traditionally our process has been to keep functional
testing  
tools in each products svn repository we've encountered
some  
technical and process issues.

1.) People working on a given tool or framework may have
different  
commit privileges in one product than another.
2.) If a tool or framework is used in two products then we
have to do  
two separate commits and maintain all the same files in two 

repositories.

Our current issue is that a tool I originally wrote for
cosmo,  
HTTPTest, is now being used by adam to develop a tool for
scooby  
testing, JSONTest. Since it lives in the cosmo repository he
can't  
commit changes to it and I can't easily merge his changes
in while  
I'm working on the same files to extend testing for cosmo.

Going forward we will be writing a very large framework that
will be  
used by nearly every tool OSAF QA uses to test all products
so this  
issue needs to be solved in a broader context than just our
current  
problem with HTTPTest.

I'm open to any and all ideas for solving this problem.
