RE: RE: Re: One repository / Many projects : How to differenciate revisions ?

There are disadvantages. It makes merging between projects a real pita.

I recommend using branches within the same repository. We tried
different repositories for different projects and it has not been fun
trying to get changes from one repository into another.

I concur with Nicolas, don't attach any meaning to the number. If you
want a revision number per project perhaps you should experiment with
svn props and hook scripts....

There is of course also the possibility to use multiple repositories
(one per project), in which case you would have one revision number per
project.
There aren't any major disadvantages to this right?
