Re: trunk directory question from a CVS guy

CVS example

projectX/
  src/
  etc/

In CVS, when you check out module 'projectX', you get a working copy
rooted at projectX (assuming you didn't "cvs co -d blah projectX")

Because subversions 'trunk', branches and tags are simply paths in the
repository you would have a repository layout something similar to
what Irvine suggested...

projectX/
  trunk/
    src/
    etc/
  branches/
    br1/
    ...
  tags/
    t1/
    ...

To get a working copy the same as with CVS, do as Irvine notes and use
the Subversion equivalent of the CVS -d checkout option

Something like
  svn co svn:..../projectX/trunk projectX

Reorganisation of our CVS projects to best fit Subversion is first
order of business... There's no question it's needed, but then I don't
think there's much question that it'll be worth it. Many a repository
tidy-up has been put off until later due to CVS limitations.

This approach to branches and tags is definitely different and I'm
disappointed there isn't a little more built into the tool to assist
with this, but I'm yet to see it as a limitation or a hinderence.
