Hi, We need to add a new directory including files and properties to a subversion repository "in-place".
With SVN 1.6, the following did work: (I know that this is only an artifact and was no documented / intended behavior.) - Checkout the parent directory to a temporary place. - create and svn add the data directory under the parent working copy. - svn add and svn propset all the children we need in the working copy. - svn commit the parent directory (to add everything in a single commit.) - move the data directory to the intended working copy place. - delete the temporary parent directory. With SVN 1.7, I only see a way to do this with 2 commits: - svn remote add the data directory. (First commit) - checkout the data directory - fill the data directory with contents (files and properties) - svn commit the data directory. (Second commit). (This is analogeous to the "in-place import" in the FAQ.) Is it theoretically possible with the new working copy architecture to allow the working copy root itself to be "scheduled for addition"? This could be the base for a nice feature for SVN 1.8, allowing both "in-place import" and "import with properties", maybe some command like "svn checkout --for-addition svn://destination/url/to/some/non/existing/directory/with/existing/paren t".
