Is there a rationale for the release structure, and specifically of the location of the tags:
svn/boost/ release/ next/ (boost-root) RC_1_35_0_n/ (boost-root) 1_35_0/ (boost-root)
Instead of:
svn/boost/ release/ (boost-root) tags/ RC_1_35_0_n/ (boost-root) 1_35_0/ (boost-root)
I considered svn/boost/release/(boost-root) but was afraid it would be confused with the most recent release, since there is nothing to identify it as anything else.

If the reason is to make the permissions easier to manage.
That's one part of the rationale. I also wanted a focal point for casual browers to find release related trees.
Did you consider a more traditional svn structure of:
svn/boost/release/ trunk/ (boost-root) tags/ RC_1_35_0_n/ (boost-root) 1_35_0/ (boost-root)
No, that approach didn't occur to me. I think I like it slightly better than my proposal. Anyone else have an opinion on this? --Beman
