Hi Bojan,
Why are you considering using multiple repositories? Server
performance or logical separation?
If you are doing it for logical separation, you might consider just
putting the different projects into different top-level directories.
Then, individual developers can checkout just the directory for the
project they're working on, but branching and tagging can easily be
done across multiple projects if desired.
You might also want to look at the svn:externals property, which is
described in fairly high detail in the Subversion book. Using
externals to link a project to other projects may be sufficient for
what you want to do.
