If you create a repository for a project named Proj, then typically
you'd access the trunk using the URL
svn://repos/Proj/trunk
(or maybe some other access method, like https, svn+ssh, etc.)
When you check it out, you normally only check out this much from the
repository, and you don't need to call the checkout "trunk". You can
call it whatever you like. So the name "trunk" needn't show up in a
working copy's local path. It will always be mentioned in the
associated URL, but you rarely need to type that after checkout.
I hope this helps.
