OK, this is all about Eclipse IDE, not Subclipse though.

If Subclipse was installed when you imported the projects they would have
been shared automatically. You also can select the parent folder of all
the projects and the Eclipse import dialog allows you to import all of them
at once.

The warning in #3 happens if the root of your project is not part of a SVN
working copy but child folders are. The entire project from the root has
to be a SVN working copy so it sounds like the warning had its desired
effect.
