build script - pre-check for path existence

hi

in our build script we need to create paths on the server that sometimes
does exist already and sometimes does not.

currently our script will do a 'svn mkdir' for each directory at the time

code ex
##############
my @intermediate = split ( /\//, "/path/to/unknown/place" );

my $tmp_str = "";
foreach my $dir ( @intermediate ) {
   $tmp_str .= "$dir/";

   `svn mkdir $repository_url/$tmp_str -m \"Adding dir\""`;
}

#############

it's ugly but in fact, that always works - but it also gets annoying
when the path already exist, because then we get warning messages like:

svn: MKCOL of /svn/!svn/wrk/879aa23b-1ded-0310-acf7-e64a4ce5e0b7/ ...
405 Method Not Allowed (http://example.com

is there a way to check/preview the repository from a client's perspective ?
