The easiest way to start a project is not to use the import command.
Just check out the trunk folder to an empty folder on your harddrive.
Then copy your project files into that folder and arrange the files the
way you like them. Then add the files (TSVN->Add).
After that, commit and you'll have the files 'imported'.
