Checking out multiple repositories.

Ben,

I know that you *just* got checkout working, but here's a huge comment
that I dropped into client/checkout-cmd.c. Feel free to ignore it
until you're ready for it... it's just an FYI.

TODO Fixme: This only works for one repo checkout at a shot. In
CVS, when we checkout one project and give it a destination
directory, it dumps it in the directory. If you check out more
than one, it dumps each project into its own directory *inside*
the one that you specified with the -d flag. So, for example, we
have project A:

    A/one_mississippi.txt
    A/two_mississippi.txt
    A/three_mississippi.txt

And project B:

    B/cat
    B/dog
    B/pig

If I do 'cvs -d :pserver:fitz@subversion.tigris.org:/cvs co -d foo A', I get the following:

    foo/one_mississippi.txt
    foo/two_mississippi.txt
    foo/three_mississippi.txt

But if I do this 'cvs -d :pserver:fitz@subversion.tigris.org:/cvs
co -d foo A B', I get the following:

    foo/A/one_mississippi.txt
    foo/A/two_mississippi.txt
    foo/A/three_mississippi.txt
    foo/B/cat
    foo/B/dog
    foo/B/pig
 
Makes sense, right? Right. Note that we have no provision for this
right now and we need to support it. My vote is that we stop
iterating over opt_state->args here and just pass the args into
svn_client_checkout and let it decide what to do based on
(args->nelts == 1) or (args->nelts > 1). -Fitz
