If the repository is for your own personal use, you don't need so many
levels. I have a repository setup like this:
svn://branches
svn://tags
svn://proj1
svn://proj2
...
I simply have my projects as the first level of the repository. There is no
"trunk" directory. The "branches" and "tags" directory are there , but I
rarely ever use them. When I do a branch or a tag, I do something like this:
*$ svn cp svn://lh/proj1 svn://lh/tags/PROJ1-1.0*
This makes checkouts quite simple:
*$ svn co svn://lh/proj1*
Note that I use the "svn" protocol. It's simpler than http:// and I don't
have to setup an Apache server. As an additional bonus, you remove another
level from the URL. http needs both the server and repository name. svn only
needs the server (and I've aliased localhost to "lh". I do have to have the
svnserve command start up, but I can do this manually, or start it up when I
log in. (Either manually or via my .profile script)
As others have pointed out, you really don't use the multi-level URLs once
you've checked out a project. All the commands pretty much work on the local
directory. However, it's nice to have short URLs when you do need them.
