The book is out of date. (Sorry 'bout that). The syntax has indeed
changed its ordering.

"trunk" is a convention that we the book authors (and the Subversion
developers, I think) are recommending. It's not a magic path
component that means "get me the main branch" -- it's a *literal* path
component. So, our recommendation would have been for you to instead
import like so:
svn import tsbutils svn+ssh://svn.example.com/tsbutils/trunk
