I'm curious - why does checkout behave this way? I encountered this
early on when I
first began using subversion since I used to be a CVS user. Why
doesn't it just behave
like an update with depth set to infinity? I can't see a realistic
usage model where
somebody would want to do an unrelated checkout into a subdirectory of
an existing
working copy.
