Show them the Apache and KDE repositories:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/
http://websvn.kde.org/
Both have over 500,000 commits in it with many projects in it. So people are
used to not applying any meaning to the svn revision number.
Also, the version numbers for a project are unrelated to the svn revision
number. One uses the tag name to label and name a project's release, not the
Subversion revision number.
We maintain over 100 projects in our single repository. It's much easier to
deal with then 100 separate repositories.
