See, and I learned version control on Subversion, and now that I'm
trying to participate in some open-source projects that use CVS, I'm
totally baffled by CVS's non-directory-ish treatment of braches and
tags. :-) Gonna have to find me a CVS book.

Well, you can forget about that, because Subversion doesn't work like
that. ;-)

If the five development efforts are distinct, then you'll want to be
able to branch and tag them separately, so your layout 1. above seems
best.
