A repository is just a filesystem that changes over time. Subversion
has no notion of "projects". If you want to put lots of different
projects in your filesystem, that's your choice. The only thing that
makes certain directories into "projects" is the fact that you think
of them that way. :-)

Nope, not hiding anything. Branches and tags are just cheap directory
copies. You clone a directory using the 'svn cp' command.

It's a matter of site-policy to manage the "overflow" of directories.
Tags and branches are just ordinary directories, after all. You can
rearrange them into any structure you want.

By the way: this is not a new idea. Perforce, I'm told, has the same
model.
