As can be seen here in "RELENG_* branches and general layout" section: http://wiki.freebsd.org/SubversionPrimer There are several subdirectories for branches and tags depending on the status of a branch/tag in question. As I understand those subdirectories do not introduce separate namespaces, i.e. a particular tag/branch name is supposed to be unique across all subdirectories. Does git-svn support repository layouts with multiple branch/tag subdirectories? Or does it only support "standard layout" variations that still have only one subdirectory for each? Thank you in advance for any help/advice! -- Andriy Gapon
