Creating a new working copy in an existing directory (/etc)

Hi,

I wonder if it's possible to update a directory (not under svn control)
with the repository.
Let me explain: I happily use svn to keep track of changes in my /etc
directory. /etc is actually a working copy of a svn repository and I can
use diff, make tags, etc... Now I want to share my /etc with another
box, this second box has a freshly installed system with it's own /etc
and I want to synchronize this /etc with the repository WITHOUT
overwriting the files (don't want to do "rm -Rf /etc; svn co
file:///repos/etc /etc" !!!!), I just want the new /etc to be under svn
control (a working copy) and then doing a merge by hand.
Is there a clean solution to do that? Is someone else managing is system
configuration with svn?

Thanks to you for bringing this excellent piece of software!
