One SVN repository or many?
- by nickf
If you have multiple, unrelated projects, is it a good idea to put them in the same repository?
myRepo/projectA/trunk
myRepo/projectA/tags
myRepo/projectA/branches
myRepo/projectB/trunk
myRepo/projectB/tags
myRepo/projectB/branches
or would you create new repositories for each?
myRepoA/trunk
myRepoA/tags
myRepoA/branches
myRepoB/trunk
myRepoB/tags
myRepoB/branches
What are the pros and cons of each? All that I can currently think of is that you get mixed revision numbers (so what?), and that you can't use svn:externals unless the repository is actually external. (i think?)
The reason I ask is because I'm considering consolidating my multiple repos into one, since my SVN host has started charging per repo.
