Perhaps to streamline the adding of projects like this by circumventing the
"bin" folder? I have no idea.

Not sure how I would reproduce it with the command line tool, but what I did
was really quite simple:
- Right clicked on the "Project" folder and selected "Add...", and with
everything selected, hit "OK"
- Right clicked on "Project" again and hit "Commit"

No. It's a very simple project at this point, and unless Eclipse is doing
something weird (which I very much doubt, as I've successfully committed
full Eclipse projects before), then there should be nothing of the sort.

Remember that "bin" and "src", when examined under "svn info", display the
same repository URL. Is there a way to simply change this value somewhere?
