It doesn't. What bugs me is that the database (the "pulled" tree if you
will) is stored in it. It has already been pointed out how to put it
elsewhere, so no need to explain that.

What *really* bugs me is that it's so difficult to have one "pulled"
tree and create a bunch of checked out copies from that.

(In the CVS world, I kept a single rsync'ed copy of the anoncvs
repository, and I could do multiple "cvs checkout" copies from there
using different branches.)
