Maybe an example from my own system will make this easiest to understand.
On my source control machine, I have a folder /svn/repos. Underneath
that are my svn repositories, and Apache is configured to treat any
folder under that as a repository.
When I start a new project, I run the command
svnadmin create /svn/repos/newproject
That creates a repository that is distinct from the one at
/svn/repos/oldproject
Each have their own trunk, branches and tags.
