2 (and a half-dozen test repositories)

Yes, yes and no.

No, no and no. (At least, at the time I created them.)

Not particularly.

Our svn server hosts (is expected to host) several repositories, with each
of our customers getting a separate repo. Within this repository, we have
directories for each independent project, each project having its own
{trunk,tags,branches} directory structure. The trunk dir in turn typically
has a standard project skeleton.

As I understand it, the --in-repos-template argument is only useful at repos
creation time; our policy requires the use of an automated tool (currently a
shell script) at project creation time, which is significantly more
frequent, applied to an existing repository.
