Create a folder in your repository for each project.

Truly... there are people with huge repositories with multiple projects
and performance is one of the few complaints I have ever seen here.

Not if you organize your folder structure so that your tags and branches
are under each project folder.

Have you red the section in the book that talks about repository

Of course, you are welcome to create a repository for each project. But,
