Feature request for checkout dialog

From: Peter Mounce <pmounce_at_narrowstep.com>

Hi all

When I do a checkout, it's almost always of the trunk. Because I (and so
many other people that use svn) follow the manual's best-practise repo structure,
this means the url is something like http://server/...../reponame/trunk .

I would like the checkout directory textbox to auto-fill (perhaps by a guess,
from a button that I hit, or on its own as I type) the name of the checkout
directory (since it populates it with the directory I've right-clicked in,
and usually I don't create a directory, I let the checkout do it for me when
it asks whether I want to create the directory) to save me typing it, since
it's almost _always_ going to be the same as the repo-name.

Road-bumps:
* People that create an empty directory and right-click on/in it to check
out - the feature should notice, and not try to append to this path. Perhaps
the feature could scan the directory being checked out into to see whether
there are other working copies, and if there are, assume it should guess
a name from the repo-URL; if not, assume it shouldn't?
* Whether or not to append the repo path, to call the WC something related
to its path within the repo?

Yeah, I know. Slow day at work... ;-)

Pete
