I am setting up VisualSVN. It comes with a "Repositories" repo. My question is pretty simple I hope, do I create a single repository under the root and then add a new folder for each project I want to manage? or do I create a new repository under the root "Repositores" for each new project?

  • Many of the projects will be mostly independent; however, I would like to be able to create add projects to the repository from the road w/out access to the server console. Commented Jun 5, 2009 at 20:47

I have all of my projects in a single repository. Each project gets a folder with a trunk, tags, and branches subfolder. One drawback to this is that any commit increments the revision of the repository, but I don't show the revision number anywhere in my code.

IMHO, the revision ID is more a "serial number" than a "build number". Therefore, as long as it's unique, it's fulfilling its purpose and shouldn't dissuade one from managing multiple projects in one repository.
I've read you cannot create a repository w/out console access...can you create these folders with trunk, tags, and branches from TrotoiseSVN for example?
I don't think the increasing number is a drawback, revision numbers are cheap
a drawback may come if you want to restrict access to certains projects. can I set different access politics on folder level?
nevermind (svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.4/…)

If your projects are related, then I would create a single repository under the root and then add a new folder for each project I want to manage. A single repository could contain a project group which contains different projects.

If your projects are unrelated, then create a new repository for each project. Then each project will belong to different project group.
