Here are a couple of workarounds:
1) Use SVN command line to checkout the .project file on branch. Edit it
with a text editor and enter a new project name and commit back. It is
just an XML file, easy to edit.
2) When doing Checkout As Project there is a point where there is a
confirmation dialog up but the project itself has been created in the
workspace. If you delete the .project file that was generated before you
answer the message the checkout works.
I prefer option 1. Actually, don't you have to do something like #1
anyway with a branch? I seem to recall there is a bug that svn 1.1 will
fix where checking out from a branch with Subclipse can fail. This is
because it does an "svn cat -r ###" on the .project file and if that file
has not been modified on the branch the command fails. This should be
fixed with the new "history follow copy" changes in svn 1.1 but the
workaround is to just use the command line to checkout and commit that
file on the branch.
