So there are 2 ways to go about it: (1) separate each into a different
repo, (2) use path-based authorization.

The first one is the easiest and it's what we do: one project = repo.
When we encounter this situation we (a) tag a final version in the old
repo (e.g. svn cp trunk tags/20131013_before_split) (b) svn del any
trunk files, (c) create the new repo and import to a new trunk.

The second option is a bit more cumbersome but can be done so long as
the original paths allow it:

Best,
