    <para>
        The first level of directories in the repository provides
        organization through a convenctional <quote>trunk</quote>,
        <quote>branches</quote> and <quote>tags</quote> layout. In
        this configuration the <filename
        class="directory">trunk</filename> directory is where main
        changes take place, the <filename
        class="directory">tags</filename> directory is where frozen
        copies of <filename class="directory">trunk</filename> changes
        are placed in for releasing, and the <filename
        class="directory">branches</filename> directory is an
        intermediate place between <filename
        class="directory">trunk</filename> and <filename
        class="directory">tags</filename> states where changes take
        place before being merged into <filename
        class="directory">trunk</filename> and finally released into
        <filename class="directory">tags</filename>.
