Well sometimes you do want to check out into a non-empty folder
without creating a sub folder.

You can only Add to an existing working copy. For unversioned folders
you can only Checkout or Import.

Look at the link above - this tells you how to import in place. We
know Subversion's import function is rather limited. The Subversion
developers know it too, but while there is a workaround, there are
higher priority jobs that need doing first.
