Should I store all projects in one repository or mulitiple?

I am currently using TortoiseSVN to manage a couple of the projects that I have on the go at the moment.

Can I commit only parts of my code using SVN or Mercurial?

I use Tortoise SVN usuallly, but I have been looking into Mercurial since it is a distributed revision control system.

What happens if I don't use the --Reintegrate option in Subversion 1.5?

How can KDiff3 be used properly with TortoiseSVN to resolve conflicts?

I have TortoiseSVN set up to use KDiff3 as the conflict resolution tool (I find it shows more information useful to the merge than the built-in TortoiseMerge does). When I open a file with Tortoise's "Edit Conflicts" command it shows me the three files and I have to select "Merge->Merge Current File" manually. The problem is that KDiff3...
