If you commit revision 428 on project1/trunk, say, then your next commit
will be #429, no matter whether it is to project1/trunk or
project3/trunk or anywhere else.

Repository level only. Subversion has no concept of a "project" and one
cannot have a revision number. (Any file/folder, however, does have a
"last revision this was changed in", which obviously will stay the same
until you actually change something in the file/folder.)
