Can you explain this a bit? What do you mean by codeline? and how have
you found this helpful.

OK, after using SVN for many years, and CVS for many prior to that, I'm
just not understanding the difference between

and

I mean, other than the obvious that one has trunk|tag|branches above the
component/library root, and the other has it below.

Is there a real difference in practice? Or is it just convention?
Seems to me that with the structure I was thinking about, I can just
"get the latest truck of everything" and be happy.

Having the trunk|tag|branches below always struck me as making them more
visible.
