Repository structure (project with different sub-projects)

Hi all,

I've read different topics how to structure the repository and how to create
a software release. (trunk/branch/tag)
But there is a question I couldn't find an answer or recommendation.

The product/project I want to manage in subversion, is quite complex and has
different sub-projects. Also a sub-project can have different sub-projects..

My Problem: How to manage the version control of the different sub-projects,
how to structure the repository?

A small example, perhaps than it's more clear where my problem is:
[code]
my-repository
!
 + product-1
 ! +-- sub-project-X
 ! ! +-- sub-project-X1
 ! ! ....
 ! ! +-- sub-project-X2
 ! ! ....
 ! ! +-- sub-project-X3
 ! ! ....
 ! !
 ! +-- sub-project-Y
 ! ! +-- sub-project-Y1
 ! ! ....
 ! ! +-- sub-project-Y2
 ! ! ....
 ! ! +-- sub-project-Y3
 ! ! ....
 ! ...
 !...
[/code]

Normally following structure is used for "version management", the structure
"trunk" "branch" and "tag" is used:
[code]
my-repository
!
 + product-1
 ! +-- trunk
 ! ! +-- sub-project-X
 ! ! ! +-- sub-project-X1
 ! ! ! ....
 ! ! ! +-- sub-project-X2
 ! ! ! ....
 ! ! ! +-- sub-project-X3
 ! ! ! ....
 ! +-- branch
 ! ! ! ...
 ! +-- tag
 ! ! ! ...
 ! !...
...
[/code]

But how to handle bugfixes for sub-projects? How to create a new release for
a sub project?
 
For example I create a patch for "sub-project-X1", how to manage the release
management?
It makes no sense to create an new release for the complete product, perhaps
other sub-projects are still in work.

Can please somebody give me a hint or suggestion how to manage this
situation and how to structure the repository? It's not really an unusual
requirement, but I couldn't find a recommendation and currently I don't know
what makes sense, how to structure the repository.

Best regards
Marco

Best regards
