Re: Help Needed w/Subversions Weird Repository Layout

From: David Waite <dwaite_at_gmail.com>

Actually subversion does not place any requirements on directory
heirarchy. project/trunk project/branches project/tags is just a
recommendation.
For example, I usually do global /trunk , /branches , and /releases
with HEAD of all projects under trunk, because my projects are usually
interdependant modules I want to branch all at once.

There are no special meanings to any locations - subversion is a big
filesystem that keeps track of all previous states (file structure and
file contents). So don't put too much time into deciding how to start
- you can move things around later.
