Only if you use the "3a" method I described. The "3b" method will
result in the revisions being in chronological order.

I don't think I understand the point you're trying to make here. I
had assumed there was a [repourl]/trunk (and [repourl]/branches and
[repourl]/tags) in each of the projects' old repositories, and that
these would now be moved into a single combined repository with the
structure [repourl]/[project]/{trunk,tags,branches}.

That would be another option, but I wouldn't really recommend that,
since I don't quite see what problems you're envisioning.
