There is no *required* layout and there are several conventions that you
can choose from:

http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.4/svn.reposadmin.planning.html#svn.reposadmin.projects.chooselayout

Actually reading (or even *gasp* purchasing) the entire book is strongly
recommended for new users. There is even an appendix specifically
devoted to refugees from CVS-land... ;-)
