Having "trunk" at the top level and projects under it is also better when you
have multiple projects. This is because you can do one checkout of the
"trunk" root directory and get the main version of all projects in one go.
If you have the "trunk" under the project name, you have to do a checkout
on each projects trunk to get the latest of everything, which is more work.
