We are trying to reorganize some our projects and hence repositories
so that it makes some kind of logical sense (naming wise). Our
existing repository that we want to move i.e. ProjectA has very few
commits (4 to 5) in it and we do not care if the revision numbers
change as long as we have commit

So,
svadmin create /var/lib/svn/Projects # Create new repo Projects
mv /var/lib/svn/ProjectA A # Rename ProjectA to A
and then?
how do I move repository "A" under "Projects" repository?
All our SVN repositories are stored at /var/lib/svn.
Let's say we have an existing repository called "ProjectA" i.e.
/var/lib/svn/ProjectA. We created a brand new fresh repository called
"Projects" like this /var/lib/svn/Projects.
Now we would like to rename our existing repository "ProjectA" to

Sorry for bumping this one...We really need to find a solution/workaround
for this in order for our SVN implementation to be final.
Thanks in advance!

Our repositories lives in /var/lib/svn/ on a Linux server. We use the
following sturcture on per project per repository basis:

I had thought about that but it would mean that I will need to include a svn
checkout command to /tmp/ directory in my post-commit hook, right?
If that is the case
I guess my biggest hurdle at this time is how to extract the file from the
repository that I would like to send it as an attachment.
Most of the examples on the net simply specifies an explicit filename (to
show as an example) like this:

Thank you all for sharing the information. Really appreciate it.
We use one repository per project. All repository lives in /var/lib/svn/.
Also we use the hooks post-commit and pre-commit for every repository. Right
now we have to manually copy these two hooks whenever a new repository is
created.
For example:
cd /var/lib/svn/

I have a repository called "sandbox" whose HEAD is at revision 20. I would

Actually I would prefer to do the other way around. Can we tell TSVN to

we would be usually creating repositories using the TSVN.
