This looks great. Regular directories are fine. You can lay them out
however makes sense to you.

There is:
http://bazaar-vcs.org/SharedRepositoryTutorial

But that is more about how to use them, than how they should be laid out.

Do you want to contribute to (a theoretical)
http://bazaar-vcs.org/SharedRepositoryLayouts

There are a couple reasonable ways of laying one out depending on your
needs.
