RE: trunk directory question from a CVS guy

The convention is that "trunk" should be your top level project
directory. Eg:

Repo/
        trunk/
                src/
                etc/
        branches/
                br1/
                        src/
                        etc/
                br2/
                        src/
                        etc

From what you say below, though you don't really say, I'm guessing you
have something like:

Repo/
        /application
                trunk/
                br1/

And you are checking out at the "application" level. What you normally
do instead is check out either "trunk", "br1", or "br2". Note that the
name given to your top level directory upon checkout is configurable.
