Oh but I understand all that.
The thing is that I want my tags to apply to the whole source tree, not
just to "project1" or "project2".
And I would much prefer if I could not have a "trunk" directory at the
root because it has "no real use" to me.
I will hardly do any branches, but tags will be quite frequent, and
that's why I want to keep them separate.
Isn't there any way to do this?
