Do we have to manually (or using > a script) branch+tag every subdirectory? You can copy a checkout to a URI. I know that works for modified and mixed-revision working copies; if it works for switched working copies, you'd get a branch or tag replicating that copy (so with binutils only if it was a checkout switched to be a binutils-only checkout, for example). -- Joseph S.
