Howto freeze or archive a project

From: Daniel Jimenez <d.jimenez_at_comvision.net.au>

Hi,

We have a svn rep, which contains the typical structure

SVNRep
 |
 |--Branches
 |
 |--Tags
 |
 |--Trunk
     |
     |--Project1
     |
     |--Project2

At this stage, the users via their SVN Client app only see the content of
the Trunk( obviously they have define the path to the SVNRep all they way
down to and including the Trunk folder), which is exactly what its required.
This way they can do an checkout of the entire svnrep and get all the
current projects.

However, we would like to be able to freeze/archive a project once we decide
that no more development will be done on that project (for example version 2
of the product is available).
 
What I would like to know is how do we archive or freeze a project, so that
after the project (say project1 in the above example) is archived/freezed:

(1) When any user does an update of the SVNRep, the archive project will be
eliminated from the user's project structure.

(2) If a new user arrives and completes a checkout of the SVNRep/Truck,
she/he will not get archived/freezed projects.

(2) A user if need be could in the future browse the main SVNRep and see the
archive folder and projects within that folder, as well as checkout an
archived/freezed project to complete some bug fix. Commit the fix and re
archive/freeze the project. How should this be done ???

I guess the structure would look like these ???

SVNRep
 |
 |--Archive
     |
     |--Project1
 |
 |--Branches
 |
 |--Tags
 |
 |--Trunk
     |
     |--Project2

Any help suggestion on how to achieve this would be appreciated.
 

Regards

Daniel
