consistency: svn checkout creates intermediate folders, svn export does not

Hi,

when checking out a branch to a local folder like this:

svn checkout http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk /tmp/a/b/c/d
(where /tmp/a doesn't exist)

Subversion will automatically create all intermediate folders a, b & c.

Whereas,
svn export http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk /tmp/a/b/c/d
(where /tmp/a doesn't exist)

will give:
svn: Can't create directory '/tmp/a/b/c/d': The system cannot find the path
specified.

In terms of consistency, shouldn't svn export also create the intermediate
folders?

I can create a patch for it, just want to make sure that this is what we
want.

regards,

Lieven.
