Hi John,
I'm not the expert here, but perhaps if I say something wrong it will
provoke an expert into replying...
As I understand it, you want to create your repository in one directory,
and then go somewhere else in the filesystem to do the rest of the
steps. Then you can check out a copy of the repository and it won't try
to clobber the actual repository. If you cd to another directory, call
it "temp", you can check out the repository ("repos" or "Calc" or
whatever), which will create an actual subdirectory (the working copy),
into which you can then cd.
As for rm Calc, if you do that with the working copy, it will fail only
because there's something in there. So you need a switch ("rm -r" on
Unix, "rmdir /S" on Windows).
I hope that helps.
