<div dir="ltr">Sorry to butt in, but if you're going to undergo a huge repo reorg why not also take the opportunity to move to Git at the same time. Seems that was desired by some (move to Git) in the past and the amount of work require to pop a massive svn repo into several smaller git repos while preserving history is really not all that much. I only mention this because we're doing the same thing here in the IAM group at Chicago -- busting one massive repo (ours in this case stretches back to 1999 and has gone through RCS -> CVS -> SVN -> Hg and now into smaller project-based git repos).<div>

My only potential concern with making all new repos is: I'm a big fan<br>
of not losing svn history (unlike Chad). So if we were going to do<br>
this, IMHO we would want to do it right and make sure each new repo<br>
wound up with all its original history intact. So either 1) literally<br>
copy the utilities/extensions repos N times, and then in each delete all<br>
but the one that's supposed to stay, or 2) use the svn dumpfilter (?)<br>
stuff to filter a dump file to get just the relevant subtree, and then<br>
import it into a fresh repo.<br>
