That sounds more like an option to "svn import" - basically, import
the (current) directory into the specified repo and then do the
equivalent of a checkout in that directory, e.g.:

     svn import --takeover http://foo.bar.com/myproject/trunk

to import the current directory or:

     svn import --takeover myproject http://foo.bar.com/myproject/trunk

to import the named directory and setup a WC there.

Mind you, this isn't something I do every day, but I *do* do the
equivalent of this probably once a month when I start a new
project (svn import foo; mv foo foo.old; svn co foo; verify foo;
rm -f foo.old). Support for this would save me a bunch of steps...

Also, if checkout gets support for --takeover, it should be super-
easy to add it to import as well.
