Ok, so I found it, but....

I don't like the directory layout.

The way I see it is this:

    * upstream - there is no need to place the explicit upstream version
      in our SVN. That's what upstream CVS exists for.
    * We cannot have a branch for every version we release. It makes
      checking out the tree a royal pain. That is, to me, one of the
      major downsides of the Subversion method.
    * Related to the point above - I usually place in the "tags" folder
      a single text file containing line, each with:
          o The name of the tag
          o The date of the tag
          o The repository revision when "trunk" was the revision I
            wanted tagged (or any other directory, but place a comment
            in the text file).

If you would care to explain the current layout (i.e. - where do I find
what), so that I can work with it, I would be much obliged.
