RE: Subversion Ideal repository layout

Hi Vija,

IMO, I would use the latter. I believe it is the natural way to
reference projects. For example if you need to find the status of a
project or need to view the log file for a project it could become quite
difficult following your first option.

Thanks

Lakshman

Subject: Subversion Ideal repository layout

Hello,

I am a new Subversion user and am going to raise a question which
probably has been answered umpteen times and I have seen a lot of best
practices out there too. But I still hope to receive less flame and some
practical answers about this

So here goes...

We are building a huge web application which essentially consists of
separate modules (lets say...Order Management System, Portfolio
Management System etc..). Each of these modules can be shipped
separately or as a single cohesive unit. Also these modules will be
built on a common set of frameworks (Logging, Security,
Transaction...the usual). The frameworks are also part of a single
module simply called the framework module

Should we go in for a one "trunk" - one "branch" (for releases) - one
"tags" folder for all the projects combined or for a one "trunk", one
"branch" and one "tag" folder structure per project. Would the release
cycle get cluttered in the second option which is of my opinion ?

Any answers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks...Vijay
