That is, in my opinion, the most sane proposal. (And one that we
mention in the Subversion book.)

Bad example. In this case, it was not really a technical decision.
It was done mostly because the license and copyright on the book
differed from that of the rest of Subversion. Also, I wanted to bind
the book more closely with "red-bean.com" than with "collab.net" or
"tigris.org". Stuff like that.

Maybe he should consult with the ASF infrastructure team. They're
doing the all-projects-in-one-repository, as well as the migrate-a-
project-at-a-time-from-CVS thing. Very similar to his situation.

Well, they're related in that they share a server. ;-) (I know, I
know...)

Agreed.
