Maybe it could try to be clever? Afterall, --stdlayout isn't compatible with a URL ending in \"trunk\" (or having 'trunk' as part of the URL).

Perhaps --stdlayout in combination with URL having \"trunk\" in the name can emit a warning? e.g. \"are you sure? That looks a bit stupidly named\". I wrote because I think git-svn could either try a bit harder at guessing, or be a bit clearer about the repository not conforming to a standard layout (if the URL is wrong).\n\nHin-Tak\n"},{"id":"174076","messageId":"20110823060927.GA26358@inner.h.iocl.org","threadId":"28174","inReplyTo":"4E52759E.3020005@drmicha.warpmail.net","subject":"Re: git svn --stdlayout 's little quirk.","fromName":"Andreas Krey","fromEmail":"a.krey@gmx.de","sentAt":"2011-08-23T06:09:27Z","receivedAt":"2011-08-23T06:09:27Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"a.krey@gmx.de","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/37810?v=4"},"body":"On Mon, 22 Aug 2011 17:28:30 +0000, Michael J Gruber wrote:\n...\n> You *could* have this layout:\n> \n> foo/trunk/trunk\n> foo/trunk/tags/v1\n> foo/trunk/tags/v2\n\nWe *do*.
