Nope, wrong. There are two wide-spread ways, one is to fork on
trunk/tags/branches first and then to the separate projects, the other
is to first for to separate projects like you did.

Yes, TSVN has some knowledge of typical structures and tries to guide
you along. Remember though, this structure is pure convention for
Subversion, it is not required, checked or enforced internally!

I don't think you did anything wrong. BTW: If you have already imported
it, you can use the repository browser to move it to the correct
location afterwards. The way I typically use is to check out the parent
folder of the import and then add the code instead. Since you usually
need a working copy anyways, that doesn't hurt. It also provides you a
point where you can review the import, e.g. to filter out some unwanted
artifacts. Lastly, I'm never sure of whether it will end up inside or
replacing the given target, and I'm effectively working around my
failure here. ;)

Good luck!
