'svn mkdir URL'? I don't understand.

See the many threads on this list about this. This is a myth and
misconception. It's perfectly normal for many projects to coexist in a
repository. The global repository number is easily shared, and it's no
more or less difficult to 'track' a project. The histories of the
projects don't "mix" together, and nothing is any harder.
