Yes, it's normal.
We've had this discussion very early in this project. In the very
beginning, TSVN behaved like the command line client on checkouts. But
then people started using TSVN which haven't even touched the CL client.
And for those (which is now the majority of users), that's not
intuitive. An UI client has to behave differently here than a CL client.
Users select the folder where the checkout should happen and expect the
checkout to go there, not some subfolder they haven't even mentioned in
a dialog or seen in the explorer before.
