Option A + some sort of symlink structure sounds like a good idea. Does subversion have some way of creating module aliases like what could be done for CVS? This makes sense to be able to do this natively without having to create symlinks. Maybe a feature request :)

Another reason for Option A other than those already listed is that it is consistent with what other projects have already started to adopt (that I've seen), and that goes a long way to ease of use in itself.

Cheers,

svn 1.1 (released 2004-09-29) supports "symbolic links". Perhaps that
would resolve the issue by allowing us to (manually) build an
alternative directory containing just symbolic links to the "trunk"
directory of each subproject? Of course whenever a new subproject was
created, a symbolic link would need to be manually added - but that is
no great problem. Possibly that could even be automated; I'm willing to
try to get that working.

And yet option A is going to be impossible (?) to check out as one whole blob.

I wonder if there's any magic coming from the SVN guys that'll let us
do option B and yet provide a link of some kind to automatically be
able to check out all the trunks in one go.

Option A makes the projects look a lot more atomic, which seems like a
good idea when one contemplates what will be necessary when promoting
projects from the sandbox.

I don't think we ever settled this question.

Which SVN structure are we interested in?

** Option A:

jakarta/
  commons/
      digester/
          trunk/
          tags/
          branches/
      beanutils/
          trunk/
          tags/
          branches/

OR

** Option B:

jakarta/
  commons/
      trunk/
          digester/
          beanutils/
      tags/
          digester/
          beanutils/
      branches/
          digester/
          beanutils/
