Thanks for pointing this out, Rene.

I don't like having everything live under "boost", because users will  
then just "svn co https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/boost" and wonder  
why they just downloaded 10GB. Not good. Instead, I prefer

[boost-svn]
   stable
   devel
   branches
     my_branch (full boost tree here)
         cmake_a (full boost tree here)
         cmake_b (full boost tree here)
     tags
         boost_1_33_1 (full boost tree here)
         boost_1_34_0 (full boost tree here)

Same complaint with the sandbox: I'd prefer that we put the latest  
and greatest into "sandbox", and have separate branches/tags, e.g.,

[boost-svn]
   sandbox
     xml
     explore
   sandbox-branches
     xml_b0
     explore_b0
   sandbox-tags
     xml_for_review
     explore_for_review
