IMHO it is an important requirement. We're inviting a hailstorm of  
questions and annoyed users by breaking this well-known routine for  
checkouts.

I really think there is not a single good reason for having a  
different experience for checkouts vs tarballs. It would even lead to  
major annoyance where I work right now, just to give a real life  
example. For us, building out a development sandbox is the same  
process as building out a production instance, and for development  
buildouts we routinely want to just substitute checkous from a  
different tag/branch of Zope.
