2) Why does the svn co command create a subdirectory 'a' instead of taking
the specified URL as the path to checkout entirely?
Can you explain in more words what you expect
.
cd /tmp/ && svn checkout
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/tools/
.
to do?
Nevermind. I just re-read the documentation on svn co and realize that
it actually does create subdirectories based on the basename in the URL.
So in combination with your other explanation on this thread everything
is sound here and I yet again learned a new detail of the svn command
line client today. :-)
TBH this is quite a surprise, since I would have assumed the PATH
defaults to "." if not explicitly specified. Given the functionality of
svn co to be able to checkout multiple paths and the general design to
help with best practices in SVN, I understand the reasoning to use a
different default behavior here however.
