Re: Several projects in one repository?

Hi, and welcome in the Subversion world,

At first I must say that your post to the "dev" mailing-list might be inappropriate to ask for help. Secondly there is probably a confusion between TortoiseSVN (which is a Windows client for SVN) and SubVersioN (which is the name of the "technology", but also the name of the server and command-line client released by Apache).
That is mainly why I encourage you to read the manual: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/. At least, find a good "quick start guide" of SVN with TortoiseSVN.

To answer your original question, both solutions are possible: separate repositories or common repository. In the first case, you can make good use of the "externals" concept to "link" several repositories. In the second case, you would better create a "trunk, tags, branches" folders tree for each project (eg each sub-folder of your repo).
I personally recommand the "several repositories" approach. But again, I urge you to search the web for SVN best practices: https://www.google.fr/#q=subversion+best+practice and http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.reposadmin.planning.html#svn.reposadmin.projects.chooselayout. You must weight the pros and cons of each solution before starting, one may be more appropriate to your needs than the other.

If you need further help, I could try to assist you in private but please do not use dev_at_tortoisesvn.tigris.org any more.

Cheers,
Justin
