If you do Checkout As ... you get a Wizard to create a new project and that
defines the folder name.

The key point here is that Subclipse does do this, so if when you run the
Team -> Share option, after selecting SVN as the provider, if the first
wizard screen does not indicate that it found .svn folders along with the
repository path inside the folder, then STOP. Don't complete the wizard.

There are a few different ways to link in an existing project. One that I
found always works is to use the File -> Import option and then select
Existing Project. After doing so, you do Team -> Share. Again, if the
Wizard does not say that it found the existing .svn metadata, then Cancel
the wizard.
