Re: one repository root vs multiple - security wise? (was Merging - why do I need a path ?)

Gabriel,

Please take a look at http://subversion.tigris.org/mailing-list-
guidelines.html, "Making a fresh post"

There is no way to create project-specific rights using svnserve. If
you want finer-grained access control, you'll need to use Apache as
your server. (That's at least true as of 1.2, I haven't followed
the changes that are slated for the soon-to-be-released 1.3 that
closely)

I find multiple projects to be cleaner, although not necessarily
"more" secure, depending on how you set up repository access.
