Comment (by rhaas):

 I think this is by design :-).
 There was a discussion that touched this
 http://lists.einsteintoolkit.org/pipermail/users/2010-June/000192.html
 although in a slightly different context. You cannot completely overwrite
 the checked out path in the repository using REPO_PATH. Unless REPO_PATH
 contains $1 or $2 it is added to CHECKOUT. If it does contain either one,
 it replaces CHECKOUT in the checkout/symbolic link procedure. You can
 fiddle with $2 if your want, eg something like
 "REPO_PATH=../../arrangements/$1/$2/../../../repos/thorn" likely does the
 trick. This works by first backing out of repos/thorns then into
 arrangements/Arrangement/Thorn and then back again. The whole back and
 forth being required to have the $1 and $2 that GetComponents looks for in
 order to trigger special code. Otherwise (if you want something that is
 actually sane :-) ) I fear one might be out of luck.
