I don't know much about administrating svn, but the more I think about it, the more likely it seems that a branch could work. It's not all that much different than the various projects currently in svn, each with different ACLs.

One of the reasons I advocate a branch rather than a separate instance is the ease with which the mentor can then copy code over into trunk. I realize this may not be palatable due to a variety of reasons, but I think from a strict student-mentor relationship, it would help things a good deal. What I would really like to see, actually, is the use of a distributed SCM, but that doesn't even seem to be within the realm of possibility. -- Kevin
