(You should send mails like this to the users@ list, it's not
actually about developing subversion code.)

Why would users checkout the 'root' of a project at all? The
standard thing to do is checkout *one* copy of the tree: usually the
'trunk'. Then you can 'svn switch' the working copy to any
particular branch or tag as needed.
