> When you "Checkout" you are creating a working copy of the repository based on the URL that you provide. So, you could provide the URL to a trunk or a branch or pretty much any path.
>
> When you switch... you are changing the working copy to a new path. A switch generally is done when the new path shares and ancestor path with the currently checkout out path. (Svn at this point may be smart enough to not allow a switch to a path that doesn't have a common ancestor).

I understand Checkout process, but why I'm checking out in that described case in the User Guide. Why I'm checking out second time this same repo but different folder to create a fresh copy?
