Re: Unable to tag multiple projects due to repository structure

So, what is the problem if it takes two commands to tag two projects
with the same tag? It's still a heck of a lot faster than doing a tag
in CVS.

I am not sure what you would want to tag distinct projects with the
same tagging scheme. The best way to handle this is with the tagging
scheme others showed:

trunk
   project1
   project2
tags
branches

Or, if you have some projects you want to tag and branch separately:

dual-project
   trunk
      project1
      project2
   tags
   branches
project3
   trunk
   tags
   branches

Remember in Subversion, the trunk, tags, and branches directories are
simply operating conventions which can change from site to site as
needed. If you really can't do two "svn cp" commands to tag each
project with the same tag, you can restructure your source repository
to put both in the same trunk/tags/branches directory structure as
long as you coordinate this change with your developers.
