project folders

I just started looking at TortoiseSVN 1.4.5 for Windows. When I add a new project, why isn't the project saved in subversion using the name of the project folder? I should be able to right click on the folder and import it into svn. Not have to provide the project folder name.

Also when I select a project to check out, I would like to turn off those annoying dialog boxes that tells me that my current folder is not empty, or some folder doesn't exist. The GUI should be smart enough to create the new folder, and then place the content of the project into that folder. What end up happening is that the project folder doesn't get created, and all the files simply get checkout into the current folder. Totally not what I want or expect.

The behaviour is unintuitive, and unlike what I am use to with Tortoise CVS. Also at one point I was able to "add the new project folder" and then commit them it, I tired it another time and all I was able to select was import. Things like this drive me nuts, having functionality I need only not be see it the next time I want to use it. With import, I can't ommit any files I don't want in Subversion.

I like the GUI tool and SVN so it would be nice to see these issues addressed so I feel at home with it as I do with the CVS counter part.

Kind Regards,
Rajinder
