[Subclipse-users] Share Project forces the user to make a new folder!?

Hello,

I just wanted to do a "Share Project..." on an existing project in
eclipse to import it into a subversion repository. I'm using the
one-repository-per-project approach. There for the folder structure is
just:

branches/

trunk/

now, I would like subclipse to import all files from the project into
the trunk/ directory. But subclipse insists on creating a new directory
in the repository! I can choose between "Use project name as folder" and
"Use specified folder name". So I browse for the trunk/ folder to tell
subclipse so import all files directly under trunk. Then I hit next and
enter a commit-message. After hitting Finish, Subclipse says: "Folder
trunk/ already exists, you must specify a folder name that does not
already exist " Why?? IMHO, that's a bug.

When I do an import from the command line with:

 svn import project/ http://svnserver.mybusiness.com/svn/trunk/

Everything works as expected.

Why does subclipse require a special folder? Could that "feature" be
removed?

Regards

eric
