I have a lengthy post over at the TSVN lists, but I'll summarize here.
It could be PEBKAC issue with me not selecting the right option:

repos-jobs/A/AcmeWidgets/ACWI010xx/ACWI01030_PipeDreams

Gets checked out locally to

C:\Ours\Jobs\A\AcmeWidgets\ACWI010xx\ACWI0130_PipeDreams

Assuming that the user has C:\Ours\Jobs\A already created, they would
right-click on the "A" folder, go to TSVN's repository browser. The
Repo-Browser will open up at URL:

repos-jobs/A

Then we browse down to:

repos-jobs/A/AcmeWidgets/ACWI010xx/ACWI01030_PipeDreams

At this point I have the following choices when I right-click on the
folder in the Repository Browser:

1) Export... - Not what I want since I want a local working copy

2) Checkout... - Sounds like what I want, but the Checkout dialog comes
up with a blank checkout directory text box. Which requires manual
intervention by the user (which could result in non-standard folder
paths in their local working copy).

3) Something else?

Could you please explain a bit clearer how you're accomplishing that
feat? It would eliminate a huge complaint that I'm going to get from my
users.
