Well, the best way to perform a migration is to use 'svn mv' a lot. As
for getting your developers to migrate, that sounds like a management
problem, and I don't think I can help you there---unless you mean how
do they migrate their working copies, in which case the easiest thing
is probably for them to just remove the old working copy and checkout a
new one (but a top-level 'svn up' should work too).
Before you redesign your whole repository, though. Think if this might
be a better solution:
Leave everything as it is now, and add a top-level /releases directory,
so that your repository looks like this
/project1/tags
/project1/trunk
/project1/branches
/project2/tags
/project2/trunk
/project2/branches
/releases/release_1_0_0/project1
/releases/release_1_0_0/project2
/releases/release_1_0_1/project1
/releases/release_1_0_1/project2
The convention of having just a tags, branches, and trunk directory is
a useful convention, but there is nothing in Subversion that requires
it. If it doesn't fit your process, don't use it (or build on it).
Hope this helps,
