Are you using file:// URLs? You should either be using svnserve or Apache httpd as your Subversion server. Fortunately, you can easily do that without having to do anything with your repository. Even when I have a personal Subversion repository and I'm the only user, I still use svnserve.
But getting back to the issue at hand: Your basic issue is that your repository root is the project itself, and not a directory holding the various projects. There are several ways you can handle this: * One is a dump and reload which puts your "cfg" project under another directory. It's simple enough to do. If you do this, all of your "cfg" project will appear as if you've always had it setup that way. (See http://bit.ly/fdJjX5). * Another thing you can do is simply create another root level directory, and then copy your cfg project under that directory. This is easier since you don't have to shut down your repository or do a dump and filter. However, users should be warned in advanced that this is taking place since it changes the URL from where they have checked out their code. They'll need to take this in account when they commit their changes. Also, it can cause issues with merging since the base URL has changed. * Lastly, you can simply create multiple repositories with one for each project. This has advantages and disadvantages. However, if you're using svnserve, you'll have to use a different port for each project. If you use Apache httpd, there's no problem running multiple repositories on the same server. Have you seen the Subversion on line manual at svnbook.com? It's one of the best open source manuals I've seen and does a great job explaining not just the fundamentals of Subversion, but many of the ins and outs of Subversion administration.
