I'm a total rookie with SVN, so this is just my current best guess...
It probably depends on how you plan to use Subversion and how that might
fit with your process for promoting/releasing code.
We will likely have lots of portlet apps within our repo - and we expect
that developers will be working on different portlets at different
times, most of which will have independent release schedules. So I'm
guessing our repo will look something like this:
- portlets
- portlets/portlet1
- portlets/portlet1/trunk
- portlets/portlet1/branches
- portlets/portlet1/tags
- portlets/portlet2
- portlets/portlet2/trunk
- portlets/portlet2/branches
- portlets/portlet2/tags
Guess I'd generalize that by saying we may use trunk/tags/branches under
each module.
