The reason that I'm asking is that in our operations SVN + TSVN is the CM
tool of choice for all our projects. Many people see SVN for the first time
and they don't have a clue what really happens when you checkout, especially
when we tell them that there is no checkout per se in SVN.
Basically perhaps renaming the Checkout to something more meaningful could
help here. Another thought is that maybe we could install TSVN in CVS
compatibility mode (inheriting the CVS verbs) or in the pure SVN mode (Where
there's no such thing as checkout)...
2cents...
