>Hello,

>On each of the converted projects I have converted, the default svn url includes "trunk" -- even if the "trunk" directory doesn't exist. I understand that most projects use a "trunk" directory with svn, but you do not have to. Perhaps a sane default for the conversion would be "/"?

>This is not a personal issue for me -- I know that you can easily adjust this in the project settings now. I figured I would bring this to someones attention.

>Thanks in advance! Oh and the new system is a huge improvement! Thanks SF!

Personally, I think we should just default the checkout to go to the root, and also disable the automatic creation of branch/tags/trunk.

In my observation, it tends to confuse projects projects more than help (though admittedly, I hear more from projects that are having issues than ones that don't), and also since it automatically gets a repo to rev. 1, you can't do stuff like `svnadmin load` from the Shell.
