I am thinking about doing that now... I didn't want to use the same
repo, as it would require a reorganization. Also I'm using trac with
these repo's, so I wanted a separate trac environment for each repo.
The reason I don't want to use branches is because we already have a
branch that gets created for every trac ticket, and then gets merged
into the trunk. I'm thinking if I put everything in the same repo, I
would organize it like this:
project1
tags
branches
trunk
project2
tags
branches
trunk
Is this a workable solution? I should still be able to merge things
here, right? For example, have a working copy of project2/trunk and
merge the changes between project1/branches/T1 and project1/tags/pre-T1
both of which were originally copied from project1/trunk.
