Well, here's what I'm doing. :) Note: let me say this. I'm using SVN to maintain/VC about 10 different websites. I have EACH website as it's own repository. I started out with this structure:

/Trunk
/Tags
/Branch

I'm now thinking of having something like this:

/Live
/Live/Trunk
/Live/Tags
/Live/Branch
/Staging
/Staging/Trunk
/Staging/Tags
/Staging/Branch
/Devel
/Devel/Trunk
/Devel/Tags
/Devel/Branch

Which map this way: /Live is the what is live and currently being used on a specific website. /Staging is our staging/testing area and everything in staging will be copied to /Live nightly. /Devel is long term development/testing. When a new version of a site is ready to be released, it gets copied to /Staging and we pound on it.

I then plan on having some kind of web pages to handle some of this stuff and also to provide content management where my graphics/HTML folk can upload their stuff and have all that managed also.

Comments, thoughts appreciated. As you can tell, I'm not finished thinking on this at all. :) It could well (and probably will) change as I get into it in more detail.
