I do not know if apache allows to have multiple svn repositories for each
project.
But moving binfilter to a separate repository and refactor it to become a
build independent filter makes sense. Since it does not alter any core
internal
stuff, it is also something that one or more developers can work on without
interfering with ongoing core development.

All projects at the ASF live in one single repository:
   http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/

Thus, there is no notion of "multiple" repositories or "separate"
repositories. The question revolves around organization of our area of
the repository.

So then let's just express it differently:

We can have several "sub repositories" (in reality just sub folders of /repos/asf/ooo) that can be checked out separately. That's an option that you forget easily when you are used to DSCM.

In our own interest we should avoid having changesets that cross the boundaries of these sub folders. This would create problems in case we wanted to move to separate git repos in the future or allow to maintain bridges or conversions to separate git repos.

Mathias
