Sure, since Subversion does not distinguish trunk, branches, tags, or even projects from each other: they are just naming conventions in the repository and nothing enforces them. So if you check out a single, named directory, it is natural that this will be master, and tracked. > There's also a case if only branches and/or tags are specified, with > no trunk given. That would need to be handled, somehow... Just barf unless a --master=thisbranch option is given. If you want to, you can allow multiple --track=remotebranch options as well, giving you a tracking branch for the specified remote branches under their original name.
