Hi Jason, +1 for the new structure.
I don't know if the trunk/HEAD directory will be immediately used for breaking changes; in any case, it would be nice if the first thing we do after the import is a "svn cp" of it into a new "tags/xerces-2.x-head", so that we keep our options open for a 2.7 release, containing the non-breaking changes committed since 2.6.

Hey All,
Email #2 in my series...
The current ASF repos at:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/
has all the TLP's as top-level projects. Since Xerces-C is officially still part of XML and not it's own TLP (true??), we would go under
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/xml/xerces-c
The current suggested repository style is to have
trunk/ branches/ tags/ site/
under the project directory. site/ would contain the website pages, while trunk is the current HEAD, branches have any other active branches, and tags all the historical tags.
<aside> Once the whole thing is in SVN we can adjust the layout *very* simply. Compared to CVS, SVN is truly a wonder when it comes to adjusting the repository layout. You can move and rename directories in zero time by using commands like "svn mv ..." and "svn cp ..." which operate directly on the repository (and of course everything is versioned in case you change your mind).
This means the projects directory structure can be easily cleaned up as part of the autoconf cleanup for 3.0, without losing any project history.
This also means that when Xerces becomes a TLP, the xml/xerces-c/ directory can be renamed to xerces/xerces-c/ and then xerces/xerces-j/ can be added. Eventually xml/xerces-p/ can be folded into xerces-c during the 3.0 migration. <aside>
So are people are comfortable with this?
+1 from me.
Cheers, jas.
