Create SVN "sub" repo

One of our developers has asked me to create a subrepo of a repo currently on our SVN box.

/usr/local/subversion/project/proj

He wants

/usr/local/subversion/project/proj2

I looked into a simple mkdir /usr/local/subversion/project/proj2, but will SVN recognise it, and will everything be hunky-dory? Thanks.

A plain Unix mkdir in the filesystem repository directory won't work, you need to use svn commands. For example, svn mkdir with a URL, or from a working copy you could use mkdir followed by svn add and svn commit.

Nested repositories are not possible in Subversion.

You can serve multiple repositories using the Parent Path option for mod_dav_svn and svnserve, but that requires that the repositories be in sibling (parallel) directories, not subdirectories.
