Hi,

I would like to maintain a repository of documents in SVN under the same folder. Changes made to each document need to be tracked separately with consecutive revision/version number.
Current scenario:
When I try to change a document( say Doc1 ) and commit it, the revision updates to 1 from 0. Another change to the same document updates the revision to 2.
Now. when I try to change another document in the same folder( say Doc2 ) and commit it, the revision updates to 3. Ideally it should be 1,  since it is the first revision with respect to Doc2.
Next, when I try to change Doc1 again and commit it, the revision updates 4, which should be 3 (since it is the third revision with respect to Doc1) 
Can anyone please let me know if this can be done using Tortoise SVN. If so how? 

Your help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

Consider https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrent_Versions_System for your need of specific revisions per file.  Wikipedia tells us CVS can:

     Create revisions per file, not an identifier for all revisions created during a commit

Core to Subversion is the concept of the repository's version, not any particular file's so your desire to track versions of each file individually conflicts with Subversion's core concept. There is a Tortoise client project for CVS, too: http://www.tortoisecvs.org/
