Re: moving the svn root up a directory

Ah. I like simplicity.

So do you suggest keeping, e.g:

https://our.server.addr/svn/project1
https://our.server.addr/svn/project2

as separate svn repos?

(that's even simpler than what I was thinking!).

I guess I was working from the assumption that it was difficult to
maintain multiple repos with the same users (as it is in CVS.)

But of course, I guess it is simpler with svn.

Thanks, I think we are now on the right track.
