Unfortunately, for the moment, yes, this is correct behaviour. 
I've been meaning to write up the checkout process for the server,
but I've been too bogged down with other work. Today I took
a vacation day for my birthday, so aside from answering your
mail, I'm not doing work.

The deal with the system as it stands is that the CLI stuff assumes
that a given workspace contains exactly one project; and it
puts a special metadata directory named SVC in the root
directory of the workspace. 

So, checking the stuff in, I had two choices: require 
users to check out into a pre-created project directory
for each project; or add a second layer of directories.
For Eclipse purposes, the former seemed to be the better choice
for the moment.
