There is no right or wrong way to layout your repository. Your layout
doesn't seem that uncommon. If your projects are not all related, then
you could gain some advantages by grouping them by relationship. That
would let you create tags from the common parent. If in different
situations, the projects are related then there isn't much you can do.
As an example, in our repository we have folders for Subclipse,
svnClientAdapter and svnAnt. The Subclipse folder then contains several
Eclipse projects. When we make a tag, we can just use the parent
Subclipse folder for the tag.
Subversion tags are massively different than CVS. The sooner you get used
to this the better.
The best way to submit a patch is to enter an issue in the issue tracker
and attach it. I would review this patch, as long as it is thorough I am
not against it.
