["Brett Porter (JIRA)" <di...@incubator.apache.org>]

Brett Porter commented on DIR-102:
----------------------------------

the reason for the current layout is that each subproject has a different lifecycle.

> It is a bit weird to checkout 'directory' due to the multiplicity of subprojects which each has its own lifecycle (ie branches and tags).
> Maybe it would be helpful to use the extremely poorly documented svn:externals option so that the trunk checks out the trunks of each subproject and not the whole trunk + branches + tags
> Another option would probably be to move all submodules in the trunk if they don't such have a different lifecycle. TBC.
