A couple of practical points:
You probably want to configure your service (whether svnserve or http)
to access a directory where you have the option to create more
repositories transparently whether or not you use them initially.
Eventually you may need to do maintenance like removing a DVD iso
image someone accidentally committed or something that for legal
reasons should not be there. The only way to actually remove
anything from a repository is to use svnadmin dump on the whole thing.
If you have combined many large projects in one repository, this can
become very cumbersome due to the time and space requirements.
