RE: Large Repository .vs Many Smaller ones..

Good point...

if all goes well, the repository will have upwards of 400-500 small
projects, each of which would only have a few files... if each change to a
file, would cause the revision number to jump, i could have huge gaps in the
revisions numbers of a file between consecutive changes in a given file.

might have to revisit the large .vs small issue. although, from a management
perspective, it would be far easier to have one large repository.

also, does the system have to have a svnserve running for each project?

I went with small repositories, one for each of my projects. The main
reason was access control (svn://), although that has been fixed in 1.3.
  Backing up and restoring also seemed easier, and the big reason was
the revision number. I wanted to have that have some indication of the
progress of the project.
