We have several "projects" in subversion - and there's no more the
concept of "project" in any other SCM system. A project is just a top
level folder usually and people don't think of project version do
they?
What's different in SVN is that you have the global rev number (which
is actually really useful) whereas in a lot of other systems you talk
about individual file and directory versions. What might be confusing
is that you don't have a individual file version - or that a
particular version of a file and it's predecessor might be several
revisions apart i.e. version 2 of a file might be in revision 12345
whereas version 1 was back at rev 1234. In practice of course this
doesn't matter but it is a different concept if you're moving from a
different system.
