Just a $0.02 on this subject - my ideal 'import' would actually just be
a svn add which did not require a root wc. it would schedule the whole
imported tree for addition, and perhaps would scan for things such as
mime-type and line endings and set those properties, but wouldn't
affect the repository until I did a commit. This would allow me to have
much stronger control over my imports, and would leave me after import
with a valid working copy.
