Jeremy,
I think you'd actually need to go in and change the code. If someone
knows a better way, please chip in. Having taken a quick look, I think
it should be quite doable, but it was only a quick look. You would need
to override the calculateLocalProjectDirName() method in the
PVCSRepositoryAdapter class. If that's something you're interested in, I
might be able to describe things in some more detail.
Thanks,
Eric
