I elected to place trunk, tags, branches as subdirectories of each
repository. Before "svn import", I set up each source to look like:

C:
  \migrate
    \cation
      \branches
      \tags
      \trunk
        \doc
        \bin
        file1

Sorry, I left out the space between "svn" and "import" in the email. The
actual commands, therefore, were:

svn import -m "initial import" C:\migrate\cation file:///E:/repos/cation
etc.

That works great. I had tried that (in fact, that svnserve process was
still running on my server ;). Guess my problem was just grokking
TortoiseSVN and repo URL's when browsing. It can't drill down into
separate repositories on its own--once I supplied the correct URL, it
worked fine. Thanks for your help!
