My experience is that the repository layout must be defined in the
mirroring configuration, so the configuration is probably a generic trunk,
branches, tags layout that hasn't accounted for "site" and "vendor". I
imagine we could contact INFRA about this, or move vendor to
branches/vendor.

Interesting. I'd probably keep the vendor branches separate myself. The
vendor branches are one way to keep some clarity about a patched
external library. You can see
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.8/svn.advanced.vendorbr.html for more
details of that.
In the github forking world there may be other means that are preferred
for having a patched version of a library, possibly keeping a fork of
the project as part of the organisation. I don't know if that is normal
for the apache github organisation.
