I'm not sure how the quickstarts are laid out in the repo, but for SwitchYard, we have a quickstart parent, with modules for each of the various quickstarts.  When I was looking at doing this before, I was copying the tree down and placing parent in the workspace.  That effectively works around the project name issues for all but the parent project (which doesn't really specify a folder name anyway).  This makes for easy translation to the installed quickstarts and the source repo (i.e. the folder names for the quickstarts are all the same).
