I guess the term "mount" can have several meanings, but in
computers it comes from the traditional practice of physically
mounting real-to-real tape media for access. It has since come
to mean "make device media available within a filesystem"

So. What exactly are you thinking when you say mount an existing
working copy vs check it out from a repository? Sounds like GUI
speak.

if ./svn-co/ is a directory containing checked out copy, of a repo
in /var/svn-master/, how could you mount it anywhere? Is there a
way to mount files? Are you talking cdrom ISO 9660 files? Sure you
could copy it,

cp -r ./svn-co/ ./svn-co.copy/

but that's all I can imagine you are getting at when you say mount
a working copy.
