Best Practices question

Hi all,

I have a location I want to use for my SVNROOT. The file system is
currently mounted as /spare. I also have several unrelated projects
I'd like to keep under svn. What is the proper/best way to do this?

Do I:

        $ mkdir /spare/svn
        $ svnadmin create /spare/svn/projA
        $ svnadmin create /spare/svn/projB
        $ svnadmin create /spare/svn/projC

Or:
        $ svnadmin create /spare/svn
        $ svn mkdir file:///spare/svn/projA
        $ svn mkdir file:///spare/svn/projB
        $ svn mkdir file:///spare/svn/projC

I don't fully understand the differences between the two, since I'm
not a revision-control guru (I know rcs better than anything else,
and have barely used CVS in the past, but never administered a
repository of any kind).

Could someone kindly explain to me what the implications of the above
actions are, and maybe why I would choose one over the other? Is it
possible you might want to do the first in some circumstances, but
the second in others?

Thanks,
