I thought we'd already done that.  I thought the options were to just
stick everything in the top level, and do the usual branches/tags/trunk
structure as suggested in the svn book.  Or we can group a few things:
xfce4-core and xfce4-panel-plugins (but I think someone might have said
that that causes problems with doing branches or something).  So we have
something like this:

xfce4-core/libxfce4gui/trunk
xfce4-core/libxfce4gui/branches
xfce4-core/libxfce4gui/tags
...
xfce4-core/xfwm4/trunk
xfce4-core/xfwm4/branches
xfce4-core/xfwm4/tags
...
xfce4-panel-plugins/xfce4-pizza-plugin/trunk
xfce4-panel-plugins/xfce4-pizza-plugin/branches
xfce4-panel-plugins/xfce4-pizza-plugin/tags
xfce4-panel-plugins/xfce4-biteme-plugin/trunk
xfce4-panel-plugins/xfce4-biteme-plugin/branches
xfce4-panel-plugins/xfce4-biteme-plugin/tags
...
xfmedia/trunk
xfmedia/branches
xfmedia/tags
mousepad/trunk
mousepad/branches
mousepad/tags
xfc/trunk
xfc/branches
xfc/tags
...

And so on.  I vote for this, assuming there isn't some hidden gotcha
that I don't know about because I'm not up on my svn knowledge.

This all just sounds like another case of talking something to death and
therefore getting nothing done.  I mean really, we've been talking about
this for what?  A month?  Can we please pick something with a minimum of
B.S. involved and just do it?  Being democratic is fine, but only so
long as someone steps forward, lays out the options, and calls for a
vote -- in a timely manner.  We either need to do that, or someone
(Olivier?  Benny, since he has the most experience with svn I believe?)
should just make an executive decision.

Sorry if I sound harsh, but I'm in a real pro-active get-shit-done mood.
