Creating multiple svn repos on single SVN Server

I got SVN Server setup for Project A which is all good. I now need to setup another repository in the same server for Project B.

Any guidelines please?

Solution

  • You have installed a server and setup a project in it, I believe in the following manner: 

    http://svn.exampel.com/repos/
|
|- ProjectA 
   |
   |- branches
   |- tags
   |- trunk

    To add another repository in the same server, just go to the root directory and create another folder structure like this:

    http://svn.exampel.com/repos/
|
|- ProjectA 
   |
   |- branches
   |- tags
   |- trunk
|
|- ProjectB
   |
   |- branches
   |- tags
   |- trunk

    Simple!. There is no other configuration invoved and you can start using them as seperate repositories. This is called a Multi-Repisotory Layout.

    NOTE: The revision number will be shared with both of these, i.e., the revision number is for a complete tree and there will be a unified revision number for both the projects
