I've done a *bunch* of folder renaming and file relocating in the subversion.tigris.org Docs-n-Files area. I think you'll find the situation improved. All the folders containing non-latest stuff are tagged with "archived", and there are pointers in the descriptions of the top-most Source Code and Windows Binaries to the packages.html page at Apache. -- C.
