First of all, I thought "calc" in your example was the name of
the repository since you didn't show any parent.
Second, you wouldn't want to get the trunk and all the branches
and all the tags whenever you check out or update libs (or even
just lib1, as in your example) would you? So I guess your plan
is to check out, for example, libs/lib1/trunk calling it "lib1"
as your working directory name as you do so, eh?
Perhaps this is a philosophical choice, but I don't see why you
would want to have dozens or even hundreds of directories named
trunk, branches, and tags when you could have just one of each.
Sure, you'll need one directory for each "project" under trunk
but there's no getting around that. And you'll need one dir
for each branch or (dare I say it) tag that you create.
Still, I'm new to svn (though not to SCM) so there may be a
better svn way to do it.
There's more than one way to skin a cat...
