Please send mails to users@subversion.tigris.org, not individuals.
You're much more likely to get responses from dozens of people, rather
than depending on one person to respond.

Huh? That doesn't sound correct to me. As far as I know, 'svn co
schema://host/path wcname' will *always* create a directory called
'wcname' and place the contents of basename(path) into that directory.
Whether or not you use 'svnserve' or 'svnserve -r' should be irrelevant.
Please us a session transcript that demonstrates this behavior.
