Single repo: easier to admin; is a very good idea if the projects are
physically sharing files/data (a key question to ask).
Multiple: users don't see unrelated changes to revision. :)
Just choose what's best for your environment. For my personal
projects, I happen to use a repo per project, but as you see from
other replies, there are large scale repositories that take the
opposite approach, which would significantly reduce admin burden for
them.
