I'm very much against encoding a particular repository layout directly
into the client. I think it would be much better simply to provide
'svn cp' and then see what strategies emerge in the wild. If we favor
certain layouts at the interface level, we'll be discouraging
experimentation that really needs to happen.

Please, let's just give people 'svn cp' and leave it at that.
