For people having packages coming from different git/subversion repositories with their own file hierarchy not catkin-compliant and wanted to create several catkin workspaces because of these, I suggest to create a unique "central" catkin workspaces with symbolic links pointing to your git/svn repos, by this way you don't break the file hierarchy of your repos.
