Question

Will tortoise let me mix repositories in the same and if so how? What I would like is to store code, configs and binaries in separate repositories.

Answer 1

You should look at externals, using the svn:externals property, this will allow you to have one repository, with external references to other repositories.

For instance, you can do this:

trunk/                         <-- repository A
   config/                     <-- repository B
   binaries/                   <-- repository C
   code/                       <-- repository A

You cannot, however, mix files from different repositories in one working copy, but you can use externals to check out sub-directories of your working copy from different repositories.

For more information about externals, check the svnbook: Externals Definitions.
