I’ve been using subversion on my personal site for a while now, and I absolutely love it. However, I’m working on more than one project. Should I create a new repo for each project, or should I make subfolders like the bbPress plugins-svn site? Other than version numbers, what’s the difference? I should be able to check out just one subfolder, right?

The important thing is being able to tag, branch and trunk, and I believe you can do that on any folder. So you can do that with no real problem. Not sure how milestones, bug reports etc. will be split, though.

This is what google gives me: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch05s04.html

Thanks. I googled this and got differing opinions with every page I found. Most people said it works ok, but it’s a bit of a pain.

I wasn’t sure who else here was using subversion, and I was curious to see what other people were doing.

I would create separate ones. Mostly so that the revision numbers and commit messages make sense.
