Re: Svn protocol - It's no longer possible to browse a multi repository like a one virtual repository (Regression)

Sorry, but I don't understand. This was the one of the most useful features
in svn. I organized all my repositories in such way to have independent
revision set. I do not remember any problem that such framework caused. But
now it all appears to be absolutely useless. How would you recommend to
organize independent revisions flow for subfolder instead?
