Description
When I checkout http://my-svn-server/someproject/trunk, the trunk directory itself is imported to my local directory, which is not what I want. I want only the contents of that directory.
It appears I have to uncheck "append source url name to subfolder", but the meaning is not very clear. What is a "source url name"? And what subfolder exactly?
Suggestions: 1) Rename the option to something like "import only the contents, not the containing folder" or 2) Use two radio buttons: "import specified directory and contents" vs. "import contents below the specified folder" or 3) Make the URL field understand ".../trunk/*" vs. ".../trunk"
