It is good to know that. I'm going to try to do it as soon as the team
is ready.

OK, so only the repositories have the sub-directories db, conf, dav,
format, hooks and locks.
If this is true, this installation looks like only one repository but
I really have 506 repositories. I have repositories under
repositories.

Again, this open my eyes, we have one folder and everybody thinks that
we have only one repository, but we really have 506, I was confused.
Thank you for clarifying.

I really don't need this. I love databases and each of the
configuration tools that I worked, I always try to understand the
database structure. For example a lot of people don't like ClearCase
but I was an CC administrator for a while and I loved the database,
they have a lot of documentation. I also understood the Peforce and I
enjoyed doing some test.... :-)
Thank you for your answers.
