Your suggestion makes life difficult for someone who wants to mirror
one subproject. Once, llvm-gcc is using svn at llvm.org, most likely
I will create a local mirror to follow llvm-gcc development. In that  
case
it is easier to mirror

	.../llvm-gcc

then
	
	../trunk/llvm-gcc/
	../branches/llvm-gcc/
	../tags/llvm-gcc
