(Get the code!)
As additional input to why "people actually do this" I can add our story.
A year ago SF CVS fell apart on us, preventing any commits to it for weeks. In a "save what can be saved before we lose it all"-rescue effort we moved over to SVN in a slightly chaotic manner. The default setup for SFs SVN was NOT to create a /trunk and only much later did we realise this error.
To avoid cluttering up the SVN with a mass move of everything into a /trunk subdir, we decided to try an alternative solution. Launchpad seemed like it would allow us to give us what we want, a potential for branches, without having to clutter up our SVN trunk.
