Yes, everything from C:\Ours\Jobs on down maps to a project in the
repository.

The former. The working copy structure has to match everyone else to
minimize issues with brain-dead software that assume absolute paths when
linking between different files. Software that we're not going to (or
can't) replace so we have to work within its limitations.
(This is something that VSS and SOS handled very gracefully. You could
set the working copy at the root node, browse the repository structure
and get a file N levels deep without worrying about the intermediate
structure. There's very little overlap between our jobs and our jobs
only live a few days before they are closed and we start a new one.
Most of us are juggling multiple jobs with the need to be able to
quickly look at another user's job files. We used SOS+VSS as a
versioning storage system in order to work remotely from the main office
and to keep everyone in sync.)
