one repository root vs multiple - security wise?

[Gabriel Rossetti <ro...@charter.net>]

Hi all,

Which scenario is better, security wise?

One repository : /svnroot
and every project has it's own directory, protected using linux rights 
(repository accessed via ssh) to secure each one?

or

a repository for each project, protected using linux rights?

Thank you,
Gabriel

Gabriel,

Please take a look at http://subversion.tigris.org/mailing-list- 
guidelines.html, "Making a fresh post"

There is no way to create project-specific rights using svnserve.  If  
you want finer-grained access control, you'll need to use Apache as  
your server.   (That's at least true as of 1.2, I haven't followed  
the changes that are slated for the soon-to-be-released 1.3 that  
closely)

I find multiple projects to be cleaner, although not necessarily  
"more" secure, depending on how you set up repository access.
