====== How to import an existing project in Subversion ======

I always forget how to import an existing project directory in Subversion, so here are the steps.

First, create the directory in the repository:

  svn mkdir file:///path/to/repos/mydir

Second, checkout the repos directory:

  cd /path/to/mydir
  cd ..
  svn checkout file:///path/to/repos/mydir

Third, add the directory content:

  cd mydir
  svn add *

Last, perform the initial import:

  svn commit -m "Initial import."
