If everything in your repository is intertwined in a way that you'd
never 'release' a version of one component without all the others,
putting the trunk/branches/tags at the highest level probably makes
sense. On the other hand, if you have components with separate
development and release schedules, it doesn't make much sense to get
tags and branches of a lot of unrelated stuff carried along every time
you want one for a lower level component. The distinction is really
only relevant to what you think of as a separate project or component so
I'm not sure anyone else can help you decide.
