IIRC, subversion recommends, but doesn't enforce, a structure like

     someproject/
         trunk/
         branches/
                somebranch/
                otherbranch/
         tags/
                v1.0/
                v1.1/

(The difference is of course that it's all a single repository, while
with darcs, each of the listed directories will be a separate repo
(I'm puzzled why you don't want doc as a subdirectory, though)

I think we really need a style guide or best practices document -
darcs really is a low level tool (in the sense of making simple things
simple), and there's a lot of flexibility.  We should document the
practices that work well somewhere (Wiki?)
