Importing a project
First use the Tortoise SVN RepoBrowseron a Windows box (easier) to log into the repository and create a project folder with three subfolders:
/myproject
/trunk
/branches
/tags
You can do this on a Linux box too.

Just create these folders use the svn import command below as opposed to Tortoise.
Log on to the server with the project files
cd /var/www/myprojectfiles
cd ..
$ svn import myprojectfiles http://svn.server.net/var/svn/myrepo/myproject/trunk -m “Initial import”
