I presume you've read the appropriate chapters in the SVN Book -
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.reposadmin.projects.html#svn.reposadmin.projects.chooselayout?
OK, most of that applies to fairly big projects. In your case you
could just forget about those directories. But if you are not sure how
your simple (now) web project could wind up, create "tags", "branches"
and "trunk" in the repository, import all files and subdirs from your
web project dir in the "trunk", rename the project dir, create a new
dir with the old name, checkout the "trunk" in it and continue your
work.
