Description brettryan 2009-04-04 15:07:36 UTC
It would be great if there was another text box to allow the user to enter the working directory name as opposed to the
checkout location, this should default to the module name as it currently does, validation should ensure the directory
does not exist (currently not done, you can actually checkout into an already checked out directory).

I often checkout the same project multiple times into different working directories which usually represent a branch.

path/to/dir/project_root
path/to/dir/project_experimental
path/to/dir/project_2_8
path/to/dir/project_uat

Normally I have to checkout to one location, move or rename externally, then open in IDE.
