There are three kind of dirs for each package, or rather two, tags and
branches, one of the branches being the main branch called trunk upto now.

for example, in another setup, in the parted package svn repo, i have both
tags and trunk, and in trunk i have parted, and then various subdirs named
sarge, sid and experimental. No trunk though.

So we could move our trunk dirs to sid, for example.

Also, in the ocaml svn repo, we have trunk, and then branches/cross or
something such, and branches/3.08.
