You could temporarily move the certain files somewhere else,
do the import, and then move the files back.
Another option would be to create a .svnignore file.
I cannot find where this is documented in the book,
but it should behave the same as .cvsignore.

Oh true, it's not available.
I should have looked up issue #482 before writing the above.
Sorry for the noise.

Hello,
Otherwise, you could also think the other way around. ie: "put what you
need" instead of "ignore what you don't need" first.
For example
svn mkdir %url2repo%projectX
svn checkout %url2repo%projectX .
add whatever file/folder you need (very easy with TortoiseSVN to cherry
pick, by selecting them).
then commit.
You can then set the svn:ignore property for the future.

I'm not aware of a .svnignore file. The Subversion equivalent of
the .cvsignore file is either the svn:ignore property, or the global-
ignores section of the client-side config file.
