subversion based code development/management model

Guys,

I want to setup the following code development/management model. To do
so, I want to use subversion
with the appropriate access controls.

The repository layout

Trunk/
Tags/
Branches/

To create a new project, the following must be done.

1) Create a template directory layout under Trunk/
    -- Done by repository administrator
2) Make a branch of the inital layout into the Branches directory. Give
Developer (group of developers)
    read/write access to the branch.
    -- Copy of initial layout into Branch done by repository administrator
    -- Developers have full read/write access to the Branch to code and
develop.
3) When coders reach the stage of having a release candidate, they tell
the repository administrator to
    make a release.
3.1) Repository administrator merges the branch into the trunk.
   -- this can only be done by the administrator
4) Release Candidate is made, a copy from trunk to tags is made
   -- this is only done by the release administrator. The tagged release
has only read access.

The idea being that there is a repository administrator who has full
access to the repository.
The developers only have read/write access to one designated branch. A
release is made by
the developers telling the repository administrator to merge the branch
into the trunk and then
make a copy of that into the Tags area.

Developers cannot create new top level branches. Developers cannot merge
into the trunk or make
their own releases.

My subversion repository is setup with https access. (i.e. I've added
the appropriate modules to
apache 2.0 daemon.) I've also setup authenticated access to the
repository, but its only at the
top level of the repository (i.e. at the Trunk/, Tags/ Branches/ level)
So right now, if you have
an account on my system, you can do anything to any part of the
repository. Basically its wide
open and there are no access controls.

Any help and/or comments are greatly appreciated.

Cheers. Steve.
