You're doing something a little different here. Import is only generally done
once when you're bringing in a new project in a new repository. It looks
like you want to bring another directory into your repository, and bring it
under version control. The best thing to do here is something like this:

  svn mkdir file:///home/fs/hendry/repo/etc
  svn co file:///home/fs/hendry/repo/etc /etc
  svn add /etc
  svn commit /etc

That's what happened because that's what you told it to do. :-)

Try doing what I listed up above and see if that works for your case.
