Let's assume for the sake of discussion that you have file://var/svn,
but *not* hello. Perhaps we could change our import driver so that
the following syntax is allowed:

   svn import file:///var/svn what_to_import hello/trunk

As is, you can have just "trunk" on the end there, but if we allow
that final (optional) thing to have path separators, we can simply
build out the necessary dirs. This way, we don't have to do network
turnarounds to try to figure out just how much of that path is already
in existence.
