For Mercurial, it would make the most sense to have a separate Mercurial project per project, or per bundle. Since it's not as easy to checkout only a subfolder of a project (afaik).
That should maybe be listed also as a downside of Mercurial/Git.
I.e. with Subversion a project is just a directory, everything you can do with a project (branch/switch, checkout, etc.) you can do with just a single directory (and be blissfully unaware of the rest of the project).
