Re: Large Repository .vs Many Smaller ones..

I am just now setting up an environment so each customer has their own
repository and we have a larger repository for our base software. I
basically have the repositories in one directory and started my single
instance of svnserve with the "-r" option that points to that
directory. From there, all clients can get to all of the repositories
through that single server.
