Convenience (update on projects parent folder is the simplest way to get
the whole repository structure and "get latest" revisions), but I can
see now why that's a bad thing to do because it forces me to get all the
tagged versions too! Maybe the other recommeded hierarchy makes more
sense for me?

Meaning, use this:

SVNWork\trunk\project1\
             \project2\
             \projectN\
SVNWork\tags\project1\
            \project2\
            \projectN\
SVNWork\branches\project1\
                \project2\
                \projectN\

Instead of this:

SVNWork\project1\trunk
                \tags
                \branches
SVNWork\project2\trunk
                \tags
                \branches
SVNWork\projectN\trunk
                \tags
                \branches

Thanks for the feedback, this is starting to clear things up!
