They are both in the same repo, but it doesn't work.

v1.0.8.1430, and I just tried v1.1.0rc1 too. Same result: "D:\svn is not
a working copy"

Note that "D:\svn" is, indeed, not a working copy: it's just a folder I
made to contain the wc's from all related projects from my repo.

I cannot check out all projects as a single wc, without including all
tags, branches, etc. from all projects. That would mean a huge wc, which
really isn't practical nor desirable.
