Hi Simon,

thanks for the link about folder creation. Still I feel this process could
be automated and simplified. I would like to be able to right click on a new
folder and have the GUI create this in SVN and then allow me to selected or
ignore files before I commit the new project folder. This could easily be
done by providing behaviour modification option in the GUI for CVS users.

Kind Regards,
Rajinder
