Not to me.

1. So your projects have already been places in the repository in this
step?

If that is the case, you ought to be just defining your SVN repository in
the SVN Perspective, you then browse the repository, pick your project and
do a Check out. This populates the workspace and has you all connected up
to go.

So you shouldn't need steps 2-5. The Team -> Share option is designed to
handle the scenario where you have created a brand new project in Eclipse
and want to add it to Subversion to place it under source control and so
other developers can then check it out to their workspace.

Subclipse is modelled after the CVS integration so the online help for CVS
within Eclipse would apply fairly well to Subclipse too.
