Trunk and Project1-3 in my example above represent 4 development streams of the same product/application/codebase. The tags represent 3 different releases of the application.

So not knowing specifically where to look, you'd have to start traversing from the root down unless your script is aware of the meaning of the repository layout and already knows it only needs to query direct subdirectories of /branches, as well as /trunk .

Once it does find a tag, where does the checkout begin from? The first directory level the tag appears in? Do you find the location of the tag first, and then run the checkout command separately passing the retrieved URL & tag/revision?
