Re: [imp-dev] Proposed reorg of IMP SVN repository structure

[Stan Sutton <suttons@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I've had to check everything out a couple
of times lately, and it would have helped to have had the proposed organization
in place.  I don't mind doing it again, especially since it will be
easier.  So this seems like a good idea to me.

Thanks!

Subject	[imp-dev] Proposed reorg of IMP SVN repository structure

Hi Folks,

I'd like to reorganize the SVN repository structure. Right now, it  
looks like this:

   org.eclipse.imp
       proj1
           branches
           tags
           trunk
       proj2
           branches
           tags
           trunk
       ...
       projN
           branches
           tags
           trunk

It seems more conventional (and easier to deal with) for it to look  
instead like this:

   org.eclipse.imp
       branches
           proj1
           proj2
           ...
           projN
       tags
           proj1
           proj2
           ...
           projN
       trunk
           proj1
           proj2
           ...
           projN

This way, for the most common case (checking out trunk or a set of  
projects with a given tag/branch), one has a better chance of being  
able to select a contiguous set of projects, rather than having to  
expand each one in order to find the appropriate trunk/tag/branch.

Obviously this will cause short-term pain as we all rebuild our  
workspaces, but I think in the long run it will cause less confusion  
to newcomers and less manual work for veterans.

Comments?
