We’ve currently got a single repo with codesion, http://John.svn.cvsdude.com, with a single SVN project http://John.svn.cvsdude.com/MyProject, which contains a few subdirs for individual Visual C++ solutions
This all started as one application and though we did split off separate library projects for future re-use, it’s still all the same SVN project. Lets say we aim to have multiple applications with some overlap in libraries used, what’s the right/best way to set this up in SVN? Of course one could just keep one SVN project and put app-projects and library-projects as sub-dirs, but it hardly seems right somehow.
Say we have App1, App2, App3 and LibraryA, LibraryB, LibraryC, LibraryD where these are all separate projects/solutions… how would you organise this under one (or more repos)? Is there a best-practice?
I would keep everything in one repository and put each project and library in separate root directory of repository (see Planning Your Repository Organization for details).
Keep in mind that repository structure do not have to be identical to project files structure on disk.
Also I would use svn-externals to share library directories (kept as separate root folders of repository) among various projects.
