Why not just reorganize trunk?  The fact that every project hosted in  
the
Catalyst repository is all under a single repository is perhaps your  
real issue.

Something like:

Catalyst-Runtime/trunk
Catalyst-Runtime/tags
Catalyst-Runtime/branches
..
..
..
Catalyst-Action-REST/trunk
Catalyst-Action-REST/tags
Catalyst-Action-REST/branches

Would probably make more sense, in terms of repository management.   
It would
also solve the permissions issues.
