I agree with the no release policy, but sometimes you do have a need for a simple branch. Actually, the proper term would probably be "shelf" [1]. I've found shelves a great way to get your own space to try new things, without disrupting the normal development process. Still, I'd imagine that shelves/branches in the sandbox would be the very rare exception, not the rule.

I agree. Similar to how jakarta commons sandbox specifically disallows releases, we should probably have the same (sort of) policy in our sandbox. So without a release, there's not really a need for tags/branches.

Your thoughts?

I'd like to flatten the sandbox, leaving it up to each project whether they want tags or branches. For Struts 1.2 and earlier, the sandbox represented unfinished code relevant to the release, however now, it is a sandbox for the whole Struts project and not tied to Action 1. Therefore, I think it shouldn't have the top level trunk/branches/tags directories, but leave it up to each sandbox project how they want to structure their directories.
