Project Organisation Help for Newbie
I want to store the source for different projects in a single repository.
Do repositories have a concept of project just as how a database server
has different databases, or will all the projects have to be treated as
branches of a main project?
In short I need to know whether I should have a separate repository for
every independent project, if versions are going to get mixed up.
I think i am getting confused by the folder based approach in Subversion.
Regards
mydeja

Hi mydeja
This is a question that comes up on an almost daily basis.
First step is to read the excellent SVN book, second step is check back in the
mail archive for answers that have been given in the past. There was a thread
(either yesterday or the day before) with lots of useful information on this.
Then, if you still have no answer, ask here.
cheers

The repository is just a versioned filesystem tree. It has directories
and files, and that's it. It has no concept of "project" or "branch" or
"tag". Those three words are all meanings that *you*, as an intelligent
human, ascribe to particular directories.
