Question

Which is the better structure for an SVN repository that will hold a single Android project (and why)?

http://myserver/svn
    /trunk
        /MyProject
            /src
            /res
            /assets
    /branches
    /tags

or

http://myserver/svn
    /trunk
        /src
        /res
        /assets
    /branches
    /tags

Basically I want to know if the project root folder should be explicitly named in the hierarchy. The repository will only hold one project but it will have many branches and tags. I’m using Eclipse with an SVN plug-in.

Thanks,

Barry

I would have it like this:

http://myserver/svn
    MyProject1
        /trunk
            /src
            /res (external)
            /assets
        /branches
        /tags
    MyProject2
       /trunk
           /src
           /res (external)
           /assets
       /branches
       /tags
    resources

Haven’t done much of Android development, but stuff like resources I usually keep outside the main source structure and make use of svn:externals to link think and potentially use them across various projects
