Because then when one checks out the boost/sandbox one will also get a 
bunch of "copies" of all the projects. AFAIK the arrangement was 
designed such that one can check out boost/sandbox or boost/stable or 
boost/devel, and have a simple tree. I know this isn't the "recommended" 
svn layout but personally (even though I didn't come up with it) it 
seems more _humane_ than the recommended.
