[boost] [SVN] Repository branches/libs experiments

I've set up a couple of my development branches in SVN. See the attached 
screenshot of the Boost.System branch.

It wasn't entirely clear how to cope with the fact that typical boost 
libraries have several sections. For example, Boost.System has one 
header in boost-root/boost, other headers in boost-root/boost/system, 
and then the rest of the library in boost-root/libs/system.

I've currently got the filesystem branch organized like this:

/svn/boost/branches/libs/
                       system/
                          boost/
                             system/...
                          system/
                             build/...
                             doc/...
                             src/...
                             test/...

That works, but I'm wondering if it would be more consistent to have 
organized it like this:

/svn/boost/branches/libs/
                       system/
                          boost/
                             system/...
                          libs/
                             system/
                               build/...
                               doc/...
                               src/...
                               test/...

In other words, organized the sub-tree under 
/svn/boost/branches/libs/system exactly the same way the trunk is 
organized. That might be easier for others to understand. I also wonder 
if it has any advantages as far as various SVN operations go.

Opinions?
