RE: [TSVN] Repository structure

-> If a repository contains several projects ( around 25) which are
-> completely unrelated.
-> Is it better to keep a single repository indexed by project
-> then /trunk
-> / tag / branch
-> Or is it better to create a repository per project.
-> In that case is there a restriction on the numebr of repositories.

No, but putting all of your projects into one repository
may have some (un)desirable consequences...it just depends
on what you want to achieve.

Admin on a single repo is easier (backup/migration), but at the
same time, if for whatever reason your repository becomes corrupted,
then all your projects are affected (but we have 34 repos and not
a single corruption in ~2 years of svn use)

Multiple repos gives you more flexibility, the revision increments
are project related (which I prefer), and for things like testing
FSFS vs BDB you can test it out on a non-critical repo first.

As Lübbe mentioned, there are other issues which you can read about,
but those are a few we've found, personally I'm glad we went down the
multi-repo route. Also, look at how the Subversion/Collab.net folks
themselves do it :)
