The same way how you find it it the current tags/ dir.

More specifically, I would go to the project1/ dir (since I suppose you are
interested in the versions of this project) and type 'svn-labels --list-tags
| grep VER'. I would immediately see all versions of this project.

No, there will be no requirements for a repo layout.
As you might remember, I suggested to look at:

a) Woking dir
b) WC root
c) repo root

Since every user is free to choose his/her working dir and WC root as they
wish, they will get exactly the labels that are interesting from their
perspective.

The exact search sequence is a matter of futher discussion and refinement, of
course, but roughly I think it is a reasonable point to start.

Three might be a -R option:

svn-labels --list --recursive URL_OR_WC

that would recursively traverse all tree and find _all_ labels on _all_
branches. It would be slow and not for everyday use, but it would find *all*
labels in the repo ;)

That is the question to you since you have assigned this tag :). So, what
meaning did you put into it? ;)
