Adding to a repository without initial import dangerous?
Hi,
I created a repository, did a checkout which resulted in an empty
directory. There I created the classical dir structure "branches, tags,
trunk" and committed these. Afterwards I checked out the trunk and would
work on this from now on.
I didn't use "svn import" during this procedure. Is this dangerous or just
another way to reach the same result?

I've come to really prefer doing an "add" to an "import". It's too easy to
accidentally import to the wrong location, especially if you're importing
something called "project-1235" into an already existing "trunk" directory
and winding up with "trunk/project-1235". It's embarassing....

That's a perfectly reasonable way to get the same result. I have a
ready made dir structure that I have "import"ed to many new repos.
import doesn't change the dirs contents, so I can reuse it many
times. But your approach is safe.
