When I first started using revision control systems like CVS and SVN, I didn't really understand the concepts of the "trunk", branching, merging and tagging. I'm now starting to understand these concepts, and really get the importance and power behind them.
So, I'm starting to do it properly. Or so I think... This is what I understand so far: The latest release/stable version of your code should sit in /trunk/ while beta versions or bleeding edge versions sit inside the /branches/ directory as different directories for each beta release, and then merged into the trunk when you release.
Is this too simplistic a view on things? What repository layouts do you guys recommend? If it makes a difference, I'm using Subversion.

In an Organization, the repositories are owned by the organization instead of the user who created them.
Go to GitHub and login with your account credentials. Switch to the organization context by clicking on the Switch dashboard context drop-down, and click the organization. Click New next to Repositories. Alternatively, click the + icon on the top-right corner and click on New Repository.
In information technology, a repository (pronounced ree-PAHZ-ih-tor-i) is a central place in which an aggregation of data is kept and maintained in an organized way, usually in computer storage.
On GitHub.com, navigate to the main page of the repository. Under your repository name, click Settings. Under "Danger Zone", click Transfer. Read the information about transferring a repository, then type the name of the user or organization you'd like to transfer ownership of the repository to.

What I do and normally see as a standard is:
The trunk should contain your main line of development, your unstable version. You should create release branches for your releases.
Something like:
/trunk (here your are developing version 2.0) /branches/RB-1.0 (this is the release branch for 1.0) /branches/RB-1.5
When you find a bug in 1.5, you fix it in the RB branch and then merge to the trunk.
