        Hi,

 I am not a member of the evolution maintenance team, however I thought
 you might be interested in the way pkg-gnome and other group
 maintenance teams are splitting their SVN repositories:
 - we have no branches/, tags/, nor trunk/; it's quite unlikely that one
   is interested in checking a particular old version out, and forbids
   checkouts of the whole repository
 - we use unstable/, experimental/, and stable/ as branches for packages
   in the various dists; the reason is that you usually intend to work
   for a particular distribution, and you're likely to do updates to the
   latest version of the package in stable, unstable, or experimental

 I suppose the current layout of pkg-evolution has its advantages, but I
 thought you might be interested with this alternative layout.

   Cheers,
