svn use case question

Hello,

I have a quick question on subversion. I have a
subversion server, and a client.

I first do an import from the client to the server to
populate a repository from the first time.

I would then like to checkout the same repository. I
find that the only way to do this that works well is
to rename the directory I imported from, then do a
checkout in a new directory, then delete the renamed
directory if things copied over correctly. This seems
like a waste of bandwidth and diskspace.

Alternatively, if I do a directory import, and follow
that with a checkout on the same directory, I find
that the subversion client I am using (Tortoise)
complains that the directories already exist, and it
fails.

Is there a more reasonable way to do this?

The end goal I am trying to achieve is import from the
client to the server to populate the repository, and
then immediately checkout that directory so that it is
version controlled without creating a duplicate copy
of it first.

Thanks in advance,
Davis
