What we did is use a single repository for all of our projects, structured
as follows:
/project1/branches
/project1/tags
/project1/trunk
/project2/branches
/project2/tags
/project2/trunk
/project3/branches
/project3/tags
/project3/trunk
For us, all the projects except one are inactive (old stuff with no
development going on), so we have no need to connect across projects. If we
were to do this, I suppose the best way would be to have a seperate working
copy for each project, which would be built independantly.
However this is handled, I recommend having just one repository. It's a
great way to perform backups, too.
