[llvm-dev] Repo directory layout

[Reid Kleckner via llvm-dev]

The first layout is older, and the second is newer. Going forward, things
are likely to move around. The second layout is more flexible because it
doesn't put any repo inside another repo, so I would recommend adopting it.
At the very least, using it will put you in a good position to adapt to any
future layout changes.
