svn mkdir svn+ssh://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-scicomp/{old,packages,wnpp}

svn move svn+ssh://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-scicomp/foo \
         svn+ssh://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-scicomp/old/
...

Delaying the tags/ movement until the bug in svn-bp has been solved.
When it is solved, I would like to test the proposed layout first (we
have this layout in debichem, but there we use /$branch/$package
and /$tags/$package, which is very similar to the one I proposed here,
but still different (no trunk, tags or branches directories inside the
packages directories).

Well, it can be done by everybody with some free time (I guess, less
than an hour ... if you know the state of the package well, then maybe
20 minutes) to check, which packages are in Debian unstable (packages)
or stable only (old or old_packages), which are "private" (wnpp) and
which are not maintained from this group (e.g. gnudatalanguage, remove)

Yeah. I will be offline this week (last exam).

Yes (if nobody else will and if nobody will object to the proposal).

Nope. It's just creating the top-level directories and moving the
packages into them.

People with a per-package checkout, then simply need to run:

svn switch [new_SVN_URL] [local_copy]

so they don't need to check out a new copy.

I could/would start next week
