I would favor mod_dav_svn too, yes.

Especially since svn:externals allows us to fix a revision. So when we
do a release, we can just edit the svn:externals property to set the
revision to a fixed one and we have upright archives of the releases.

Yes, there are. And I think it is a good practice to have that many.

What about something like that for php-src:
php-src
  /trunk
  /branches
    /official
       /5_2
       /5_3
    /private
       /johannes
       /helly
  /tags
    /features
       /re2c
       /traits
    /releases
       /5
          /5_3
             /5_3
             /5_3_1
       /6
         /6_0
            /6_0
            /6_0_1

cu, Lars
