FYI.

Note that there can be some inconvenient of putting all projects in
the same repository.
For example the revision graph function of TortoiseSVN gets slower and
slower when the repository becomes bigger.

Example: In my work place the admin took the decision to create one
repository by team, with all the projects of a team in the same repo.
With 1000+ revisions it took 3-4 minutes to get any revision graph.
Last week I migrated a big project of 6000+ revisions from CVS. Now we
have 7000+ revisions and the revision graph takes almost 15'. Not
quite usable.
