The stuff in the repository is served up by mod_dav_svn. This module
does not show files in the Unix/Windows filesystem, but rather the
contents of the Berkeley DB files (which store the Subversion
"filesystem").
Subversion is not meant to have repositories within repositories. Doing
this is likely to confuse Subversion and/or Apache (or else do something
unexpected). Different projects should either be stored within a single
repository or you should have your repositories completely separate from
each other. Repositories should not be nested.
i.e. either: svnadmin create repos1 and then store in it:
proj1/{trunk,branches,tags}
proj2/{trunk,branches,tags}
etc.
or: svnadmin create repos1 and store in it:
{trunk,branches,tags} # For proj1
svnadmin create repos2 and store in it:
{trunk,branches,tags} # For proj2
etc.
or a combination of both.
DO NOT: svnadmin create repos1; svnadmin create repos1/repos1a
I hope this helps. :)
