Hi Paul.
Like you, I have a number of unrelated projects. In this case, they are
web sites (IE different domains). What I did was create separate
repositories for each domain name. This way, if one repository gets
damaged, the rest are ok. :) Also there's a little bit of extra
separation in my mind because of it.
My gut says that each separate project should be a separate repository
BUT I'm by NO means a SVN guru yet! Like many here, I'm still learning
SVN. :) (As evidenced by some of my more stupid questions to the list.
LOL) However, if you search in the archives, you will find that I asked
a very similar question a couple of weeks ago and as the answers pointed
out, there's both pro's and con's for one repository vs several.
