Bob,
I figured he uses a repo for each project like I do. The subject line says "Rename svn-repository".

I use a repo for each project for this reason and many others. I have found that so many of the problems that people have with some of the more complicated svn commands don't exist with project specifc repos. Perhaps the biggest benefit is that the "global" revision numbers become a non-issue. I have never had any problems with merging trunk to branch or branch to trunk and I still use the techniques that were reccomended back in 1.1.

I would like to see a discussion of the pros and cons of single repo vs. project specific repos.
