Conventionally, every Subversion project has trunk, tags, and branches directories directly under the repository's root directory.
| /svn/xyz
| -- [+] trunk
| ------- [+] projects
| ----------- [+] project#1
| ----------- [+] project#2
| -- [+] branches
| ------- [+] 1.0
| ----------- [+] projects
| --------------- [+] project#1
| --------------- [+] project#2
| ------- [+] 1.1
| ----------- [+] projects
| --------------- [+] project#1
| --------------- [+] project#2
| ------- [+] 2.0
| ----------- [+] projects
| --------------- [+] project#1
| --------------- [+] project#2
| -- [+] tags
| ------- [+] 1.0.0
| ----------- [+] projects
| --------------- [+] project#1
| --------------- [+] project#2
| ------- [+] 1.0.1
| ----------- [+] projects
| --------------- [+] project#1
| --------------- [+] project#2
| ------- [+] 1.1.0
| ----------- [+] projects
| --------------- [+] project#1
| --------------- [+] project#2
| ------- [+] 1.1.1
| ----------- [+] projects
| --------------- [+] project#1
| --------------- [+] project#2
| ------- [+] 2.0.0
| ----------- [+] projects
| --------------- [+] project#1
| --------------- [+] project#2
The branches directory is used when you want to pursue different routes of development.
The tags directory is used to store snapshots of the project for production release.
Populate the reposiory with the above empty structure:
$ sudo mkdir /tmp/svn-template
$ sudo mkdir /tmp/svn-template/trunk
$ sudo mkdir /tmp/svn-template/branches
$ sudo mkdir /tmp/svn-template/tags
$ sudo svn import -m 'Create trunk, branches, tags directory structure' /tmp/svn-template/ http://localhost/svn/xyz --username=admin
Then the 'projects' container:
$ sudo mkdir /tmp/svn-template/trunk/projects
$ sudo svn import -m 'Create projects directory under trunk' /tmp/svn-template/trunk http://localhost/svn/xyz/trunk --username=admin
Finally a specific project (a mvn project stored under /opt/maven/hello-one):
$ sudo mkdir /tmp/svn-template/trunk/projects/hello-one
$ sudo cp -R /opt/maven/hello-one /tmp/svn-template/trunk/projects/
$ sudo svn import -m 'Create project directory' /tmp/svn-template/trunk/projects/ http://localhost/svn/xyz/trunk/projects/ --username=admin

First enable the required Apache modules

Restart Apache
$ sudo systemctl restart apache2
or
$ sudo service apache2 restart
Now you should be able to access from browser by:
http://10.11.12.13/svn/xyz/
