Just an idea. Add the equivilent of mkdir -p,--parents, which means if
there is a component of this path which you must add first, add it, then
add the subcomponent all the way down. Maybe --add-parents instead of
--parents. If svn prints an error for adding something that is already
added that might be an issue, but possibly supressing it when --parents
would work. I always use this when I'm scripting up the creation of a
path, because it's easier then ensuring the entire path exists. I
suppose it might be slower then the other way. However, your solving
the problem more directly which appeals to me.
