You should be able to create a branch of all three of these projects,
but I believe it would take n commands, n being the number of projects,
in this case, three. Each branch would reside under its own project
folder, as you show in your "diagram".

Yes, you would, and tag each project too. I think it is doable, but
with more work than you may want. How about this structure instead:

Finance
|-trunk
| |-blah1
| |-blah2
| |-blah3
|-tags
| |-tagname
| |-blah1
| |-blah2
| |-blah3
|-branches
| |-branchname
| |-blah1
| |-blah2
| |-blah3
etc...
This gives you the ability to branch and tag all of Finance with one
command, as well as optionally checkout all of finance with one command.
