If the languages were separate repos, perhaps a layout suggestion initially would be: ../incubator/openofficeorg/core/[trunk|branches|tags] ../incubator/openofficeorg/I10n/[trunk|branches|tags] etc.. or ../incubator/openofficeorg/trunk/core/.. ../incubator/openofficeorg/trunk/I10N/.. > > 2) We want to avoid sending out gigabytes of commit notifications when we > check in the tip.

I would say Infra should absolutely perform the initial import using a dump file. Apart from the GB of commit notifications you'd likely screw the repo for everyone else for hours on end until the initial commits were done. No, infra loading a dump is the only way.
