RE: Multiple repositories per project

thanks for your helpful comments. here are some more details:

- this policy did certainly not arise from customer requirements. if there are internal requirements for this, then i am not aware of them (but most likely there a none).

- it's also not security related i think. all repositories of a project have the same permissions and are equally accessible by the project members (they are accessed through ssh+svn).

thanks, these are the arguments i was looking for.

i tried that already, but got only obscure answers. so i figured i have to come up with arguments for *not* having multiple repositories in one project first.
