Probably the problem is that it has checked out sawbuck into trunk/ rather than 
src/

FTR, I've used the http://code.google.com/p/sawbuck/wiki/SyzygyDevelopmentGuide 
wiki page.

I've copied everything from trunk/ to src/ (merging any pair folders with the 
same name) and replaced "trunk" with "src" in the .gclient file and now it 
looks mostly fine.
Would be nice if the problem wasn't happening in the first place

This is due to an error in the sample command line. It should read

  gclient config http://sawbuck.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ --name=src

so that things get put in 'src' immediately, rather than the inferred name, 
trunk. I've updated the wiki. Thanks for pointing this out!

Thanks!
You can probably close the issue now if you've checked it works.
