in place add, with propset ignore
I think I've got basic in place repo creation worked out,
but what about the situation where not everything will be added?
I have a file tree on a running system which contains some
sockets, devices, and directories I'd like to exclude -- it will
be very difficult to only add the parts that belong. At first I
tried to "add *" with the intent of doing an svn rm before my ci,
for the files that don't belong in the repo.
But from what I can tell, that would remove my working copies
(very bad). Will it be possible to use propset to just not add
the items that fall into the ignore pattern?
Is there a better way to go about this?

Perfect. Just what I was looking for. Thanks.

You can use "svn add *", then "svn revert something". Don't remove it,
revert the add.

Thanks, that explains a lot... I noticed my ignore pattern did
not work and not everything got added. Apparently the error about
invalid file types got scrolled off the top and the add stopped
before it finished descending. Since I didn't check the exit code,
I didn't notice the error.

I was able to use revert nicely. Thanks!

If you want it to pay attention to the ignore pattern, then use 'svn add
.' instead. (The shell expands '*' to all files, which will override
the ignores since they've been explicitly named. Which is why it'll
include all files in the current dir and then start paying attention to
the ignores for the subdirs.)
Using spot-reverts as Duncan suggested works as well, of course :)
