It should work, but you could also check it out right into /etc. Something
like this:

$ svnadmin create /var/svnrepos/admin
$ svn mkdir -m "initial setup" file:///var/svnrepos/admin/trunk
$ cd /etc
$ svn co file:///var/svnrepos/admin/trunk .
$ svn add passwd group
$ svn commit -m "start loading it in"

I tested the 'svn co' into '.' just now. Works great.
