Yes, it's by design. http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.tour.importing.html#svn.tour.importing.import If you want the directory "Sandbox" to also end up in the repository, you would need to say so in the URL, e.g.: svn import /local/path/to/Sandbox svn://X.XX.XXX.XXX/Sandbox_SVN_Repo/Sandbox For some circumstances, you may find using the "in-place import" method to be more straightforward than the "svn import" method: http://subversion.apache.org/faq.html#in-place-import
