I see the same thing when I do it. Can you enter this in the issue
tracker.

I think that a lot of the Share Project code was modelled after CVS and
the bits that depended on Synchronize were just left out because Synch did
not work at the time.

I am not 100% sure how we would implement this feature. In order to do a
Synch, your local project has to be a valid WC. To be a valid WC, we have
do an svn checkout. In this case, that will cause stuff to come down from
the server that could overlay what you have local. More likely, the
checkout would fail. When the project does not already exist in the
repository, we are able to do svn mkdir to create an empty folder and then
checkout that folder. Thus turning your project into a WC and allowing
you to then add/commit the contents.

I suspect that we will have to make this situation an error. In other
words, tell you that a project of that name already exists and force you
to specify another one.
