right. Knowing which directories have to be created is difficult as
well. At present I can do some mkdir's and ignore errors (as long as
the errors are 'directory already exists'), or else do some sort of
'svn co -n' on the directories to see if they exist, or even some
svnadmin commands to see inside the repository.

It would be nice since it makes it easier to control the structure of
the repository.
