Multiple vs Single Repositories

From: Irvine, Chuck R [EQ] <Chuck.R.Irvine_at_Embarq.com>

We have a very large number of applications. Our current plan is to have
just one SVN repo with a structure like:

Repo/
        app1/
                trunk/
                branches/
                tags/
        app2/
                ...

In total, I'd say we have well over a 100 active applications. However,
I'm getting a little nervous about the possibility of a repo corruption
causing all of our application teams to lose SVN access. So, I'm
wondering if a better approach would be to have each application, more
or less, in its own repository.

I'm curious to know the communities opinion on this in general.

Also, if a repo corruption does occur would it usually be isolated to a
single application, or do corruptions often affect the entire repo?

Finally, in general how common are these repo corruptions? I see reports
of them on the mailing list, but perhaps they are really very uncommon.

Thanks,
Chuck
