What I think justin is saying is, why not allow this:

$ svn co http://host/repos/module
$ svn co http://host/repos/module [-d] path
$ svn co http://host1/repos1/module1 http://host2/repos2/module2
$ svn co http://host1/repos1/module1 http://host2/repos2/module2 [-d] path

The only problem I see with that is that it would mean that "-d" would
not be available for any other use.
