I'm not sure the SVN docs actually recommend one project per repository. Mostly they talk about the upsides and downsides of each path. I happen to use three different repositories, one for 7 or 8 projects that are all related, making it very nice to be able to send out compatible copies of all the projects just by building from one revision (or verifying they're compatible by looking at the revision numbers on each). The second repository has another group of related projects and documents, while the third is a much smaller one. That lets us take advantage of the fact that the related projects can be managed by a single revision number, but that unrelated projects don't affect their repository.
