Add support for multiple projects in the same SVN repository

[tomek@…]

At the moment it appears that Trac uses one SVN repository per project. There is no way that I can find to specify that Trac should only look at a certain subdirectory of the SVN repository. I have many projects in one SVN repository. The Timeline in particular becomes not very useful when I see every change for every project.

I should be able to specify full SVN URL for every Trac Environment and all operations should be limited to that path (eg Timeline, Browse Source).

This is a duplicate of #586

However, if you are interested, the online Subversion book discusses splitting an svn repository.

Thanks for the tip on splitting a repository. I really don't want to do this though. It seems like a very ugly workaround. I think I'll wait until Trac has proper support for specifying repository paths. Hopefully it won't be too long :-)

Based on cmlenz's comments on #586, this currently works in the development version, and should be available in the next release:

As a matter of fact, we already have some support for repository subsets as of [1413]. I.e., instead of having to specify the base path of the repository in TracIni, you can specify a path inside the repos (for example /var/svn/myrepos/project/subproejct, where /var/svn/myrepos is the path to the repository).
