Topic: subversion noob questions

This is embarrassing but i never used it, nor subversion nor cvs nor any other version control system.

I want to create a repository to store my personal programming projects. But i am still a bit confused.

I have a few projects, 4 or 5, and i want to  keep them in a repository, is it a good practice to keep a folder for each in the project root? can i checkout, commit, etc folder by folder with ease?

What about the three recommended folders? should i create them inside each project folder?

Re: subversion noob questions

You can easily make subfolders in a repo. You'd go like this:

Project 1
-- trunk
---- ..
-- dev
---- ..
-- ...
---- ..
Project 2
-- trunk
---- ..
-- dev
---- ..
-- ...
---- ..

And so on. You just point your client to the correct URL.
