Uhmm, I think it would be a worthy feature to add to Subversion. It is not
really a merge, it is "replace whatever was in this directory of the
repository by what is in the local directory I am importing".
It seems to me like it would be a nice new behavior for import instead of
erroring out.
Comments?

> Try 'svn help import'. :-)

I did, but it it is pretty succint right now ;-)

  import: Import a file or tree into the repository.
  usage: import REPOS_URL [PATH] [NEW_ENTRY_IN_REPOS]

So to go back to my question, what is the simplest way to accomplish my
goals?
