Unfortunately I have no good answer. I think we looked at your second option but decided to go with what we did. So far it's worked well - we don't branch much so haven't run into any issues. That doesn't mean it's the 'best' way. Just what we picked when we were getting started using SVN. Erik - great question. Unfortunately I have no good answer.

I have a question about your repository layout. I notice that you have the following layout: telework/core/trunk/coldfusion telework/core/trunk/oracle etc. I assume this means that you also have telework/core/branches/branchA/coldfusion telework/core/branches/branchA/oracle etc. and telework/core/tags/tag1/coldfusion telework/core/tags/tag1/oracle etc. If this is correct, what made you choose this layout over for example this one: telework/core/coldfusion/trunk telework/core/coldfusion/branches/branchA telework/core/coldfusion/tags/tag1 telework/core/oracle/trunk telework/core/oracle/branches/branchA telework/core/oracle/tags/tag1 etc. What do you see as the pros & cons of the two approaches? Nice article.

I have a question about your repository layout. I notice that you have the following layout:

telework/core/trunk/coldfusion
telework/core/trunk/oracle
etc.

I assume this means that you also have

telework/core/branches/branchA/coldfusion
telework/core/branches/branchA/oracle
etc.

and

telework/core/tags/tag1/coldfusion
telework/core/tags/tag1/oracle
etc.

If this is correct, what made you choose this layout over for example this one:

telework/core/coldfusion/trunk
telework/core/coldfusion/branches/branchA
telework/core/coldfusion/tags/tag1
telework/core/oracle/trunk
telework/core/oracle/branches/branchA
telework/core/oracle/tags/tag1
etc.

What do you see as the pros & cons of the two approaches?
