I don't think the folder containing the root of a WC should have to have the
exact same name as the folder in the repository it corresponds to. As this is
a feature to me, I hope that 1.7 isn't going to break this. For example, I
have multiple working copies in the same folder but all pointing to the same
repository URL. In particular, there is one named "-tmp" for small changes
that are split off larger changes and one named "-clean" where I make sure
that I didn't break anything for others.
