The repository setup should always be the "best" for your installation.

In my case, I have trunk, tags and branches at the same level, all the (main development) work is done in trunk, when I make a release, I do it in tags. When I'm 'experimenting' I do it in branches and if it works, I merge it into trunk.

You don't have to fix it in all 5 relases, unless you have customers on those releases and you still issue service packs for those releases. However, if you fix a bug in tags/x.1.1 then you can merge it with tags/x.1.2 through tags/x.1.5.

Or, you could branch tags/x.1.1 into branches/x.1.1.patch, fix it there and merge that back into tags/x.1.1 (although, I would create a new tag - tags/x.1.1.y) and create a patch script using tortoise as per section 4.22.1 in the help file.

Have you read the Subversion book -
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn-book.pdf - very helpful.

HTH Cheers,
