Problem making an "in-place" import.

[Nicolas MASSART <no...@massart.org>]

Hi !
I'm trying to import "in-place" files into my repository as shown in the 
FAQs (http://subversion.tigris.org/project_faq.html#in-place-import) but 
I'm encountering some problems.
As shown in the example, "importing" my /etc folder was successfull. But 
I also wanted to add bash scripts located in my /usr/sbin directory.
I tryed the same thing as for /etc shown in the FAQ :
1 - I created the /usr directory with "svn mkdir" in the repository then 
after changing current directory to /usr, I checked it out with "svn co 
file:///home/svnrepository/usr ."
2 - I created the second directory as /usr/sbin in the repository with 
"svn mkdir". I did it in two steps, because, I can't create /usr/sbin in 
one time as /usr has to exist in the repository before I create 
/usr/sbin. Then after changing current directory to /usr/sbin, I checked 
it out with "svn co file:///home/svnrepository/usr/sbin ."
3 - I added my two scripts for a later commit with "svn add myscript.sh 
mysecondscript.sh"
4 - I tried to commit this added files with "svn commit -m "my bash 
scripts"", but it failed.
svn said that my current working directory was not locked and so it 
can't commit.
5 - I deleted my repository, it's a test one, and started in a new way. 
I repeated steps 1 and tried to add the /usr/sbin directory.
But It adds all the files contained in this folder whereas I only want 
to add my two scripts. So if I wanted to go in this way, I'll had to 
delete all other files from the repository except my two scripts. It's 
not a good way to do as SVN keeps history of this files and if I do such 
a thing for all directories where I want only two files, my subversion 
repository size will incredibly grow whereas I want to keep history on a 
few files.

So is there any way to do this with SVN ? (knowing I really want to 
check out "in-place" instead of using a working directory somewhere and 
then copy the checked out files to the right place.)

Thanks for all,
Nicolas.

I solved my problem,
I must not checkout /usr directory after mkdir on step 1, but only the 
deepest directory wich is /usr/sbin on step 2.
