I honestly just thought > it flowed better. Agreed. The problem is that the terms do not map 1:1 from Subversion. When Subversion docs talk about getting a checkout, Mercurial tells to make a clone (which includes the working copy); in other cases, a strict distinction between repository and working copy is needed. I see no problems in using checkout when it flows better than working copy (especially as a verb).
