Ref T10923. The old behavior was to show a full command in SVN, Mercurial, and Git, like this:
- git clone <uri>
- hg clone <uri>
- svn checkout <uri> <directory>
In Git and Mercurial, the <uri> ends in something like /nice-repository-name.git so the default directory it creates is called nice-repository-name/.
In Subversion, we don't (and can't easily) do that for various reasons so we provide an explicit <directory> with the nice name.
In the update, I've changed things to just show the URI. I often found that I wanted the URI alone, not the whole clone command (for example, to fetch, remote-add, etc). This is also consistent with GitHub. Because we have nice URIs for Git and Mercurial, git clone <uri> has good behavior.
In Subversion, svn checkout <uri> has bad beahvior (you get a directory named 47/ or whatever). So continue showing the whole command there.
We can possibly tailor this after T4245 finishes up and we get access to /source/nice-repository-name/ URIs.
