+The trunk/ of an archetype contains a prototype project. The archetype source is
+generated from the project dynamically using the archetype:create-from-project
+goal. Due to some limitations with this plugin, a script is used to execute
+this goal and amend the generated source.
+
+The tags/ of an archetype contains only the archetype source. It's a
+snapshot in time of the prototype project translated into an archetype and
+matches the archetype that is published to Maven central.
+
+The branches/ of an archetype will contain the prototype project for past major
+version lines.

+* The tags/ and branches/ adjacent to the named archetype directories
+contain past releases with the old structure.
