Tags and branches handling

Hi Im a developer used to work in Clearcase.

The questions below is asked because in clearcase I know how to handle these
situation but im not sure how the best way is to handle it in Subversion.

Q1: If tags folders is present in each project (many projects in same repo
and each project has a tags folder) - how do I collect them all togheter
(all with the same tag name, but located under different projects) so that I
can release everything from different projects into the same release. (a
very common workflow since the different projects are part of one release)

Q2: When working with many projects at the same time in your WC - Should you
then manually create subfolders in your WC where you put your different
projects and then you commit each project at a time? Or could you use
svn:external or will you run into problem with commiting the external
folders later?

Q3: How to close a branch after a merge - We will work with a branch only
during the release cycle to support live version at the same time as main
development is ongoing. - Is the best way to tag the branch? and if so since
branches will exist inside different projects as for tags folder it seems to
be a a lot of manual work here.

Q4: In Clearcase we used to tag/label only changed files and its directories
for hotfixes and tag/label all files for full releases. In the first
approach here something that you do with subversion?

Q1 is what I very very very interested in getting feedback for! :-)

Thanks
S
