RE: Unable to tag multiple projects due to repository structure

If you are always going to tag all projects together, a better structure
would be

Trunk
  -- project1
  -- project2
  -- project3
Branches
Tags

In the above case projects really seem to be part of a system. You could
even do:

System1
 trunk
  -- project1
  -- project2
  -- project3
 branches
 tags
System2
trunk
  -- project1
  -- project2
  -- project3
 branches
 tags

If you still want branches/tags within the projects you can still have

Trunk
 project1
   -- trunk
   -- branches
   -- tags
 project2
   -- trunk
   -- branches
   -- tagsBranches
branches
Tags

But, that could get a bit convoluted. I think it really is what you
consider a "project". Don't think of it as an IDE thing. For example, in
Visual Studio a "Solution" would more equate to a "Project" in the
structure you are using.

BTW: The FREE svn book talks about each of these structures and the
pros/cons of each one.
