What was wrong with:
svn co svn://linuxbios.org/repos/trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/util/flashrom
??

Nobody will ever do that. You need utilities with every version, but not
all versions together.

That could be fixed in trac

Is that a bug in trac?

What are the advantages of the move to a different directory though?

This is very implicit magic, I hope it wont bite us.
