If the target-selector and the workspace for the checked out working
resource are not the same, then the updates will become invisible when the
resource is checked in. This doesn't necessarily mean we don't want to
allow this, but it isn't a useful use case.

Subject:  CHECKOUT target selector



Presently, the CHECKOUT method uses the Target-Selector to specify the
workspace in which to create the working resource.

I propose the workspace be defined in the CHECKOUT body so that the
Target-Selector can remain useful for selecting the revision.

The case in point is attempting to CHECKOUT a particular revision by a
revision ID, workspace RSR or label -- where would you specify such
information?

Comments?
