In 1.6 it fails with an error like the following:
"Error: URL 'https://crsvn/tmn_test2/trunk/Dir2' of existing directory
'C:\Documents
Error: and Settings\tmnelson\Desktop\test\dir2' does not match
expected URL 'https://crsvn/tmn_test2/trunk/dir2' "
I prefer having the checkout completely fail instead of allowing the
checkout complete and attempting to merge the directories. The
confusion for the end user would be much less IMHO.
