i'm saying we should probably stick with the default layout. why?
because the primary benefit of the alternative layout is to avoid having
to do a rename while checking out the trunk of a project, on checking
out from branches or tags, this is required anyways. and in my
experience most of the checkouts will likely be on release branches, and
tags anyways. iotw. its of little benefit considering the disadvantages
of moving from the default layout.
