Before reading on, here is the most important command you'll

The Subversion command-line client is self-documenting—at

will describe

$ svn help import
import: Commit an unversioned file or tree into the repository.
usage: import [PATH] URL
Recursively commit a copy of PATH to URL.
If PATH is omitted '.' is assumed.
Parent directories are created as necessary in the repository.
If PATH is a directory, the contents of the directory are added
directly under URL.
Unversionable items such as device files and pipes are ignored
if --force is specified.
Valid options:
-q [--quiet] : print nothing, or only summary information
-N [--non-recursive] : obsolete; try --depth=files or --depth=immediates
--depth ARG : limit operation by depth ARG ('empty', 'files',
'immediates', or 'infinity')
