newb: creating 2nd repository, use same svnserve?
I set up my first repository a few months ago on a Windows machine, running
svnserve as a service. Now I need to set up a 2nd repository. Of course,
I've forgotten everything about svn admin since then. Can I use the same
svnserve service for both repositories? I noticed in the executable path
for the service that you specify the location of the repository with -r
C:\pathToMyRepo. Does this mean you can't serve > 1 repo with one running
svnserve?
The same dev team will be accessing both repositories, does that make a
difference?
Also, we're using Tortoise as our client and our connection is
svn://machineName. I noticed that there is no reference to the repository
directory there so I'm wondering if I set that up wrong, because if I want
to connect to a 2nd repo on that same machine, how would they have different
svn:// urls?
Thanks

I didn't know it did that. Perhaps the help for svnserve should be
fleshed out a little? All it says for the -r switch is "root of
directory to serve" which is ambiguous at best.

Whoah, whoah, there. svnserve has supported a "-r" argument since
forever, which tells it to serve all the repositories found under that
root path. It works equally well on Windows or *nix.

Certainly under UNIX you cannot: you need different instances of
svnserve for each repository you want to serve, which is a shame. I
filed a wishlist/enhancement request to allow virtual hosting of
repositories back in September:

If virtual hosting got implemented, you'd give the machine you run
svnserve on an additional DNS name - much like you do to have more than
one web site served from the same server.
