Here's what I did:

svn import /tmp/myProject file:///srv/projects/svn/myRepos -m "initial
import"

ls /tmp/myProject
   README
   foo.doc
   cleanScripts/
   otherScripts/
   old_VM_files/

svn checkout file:///srv/projects/svn/myRepos/trunk

Here's what it gave me:

trunk/
   README
   foo.doc
   cleanScripts/
   otherScripts/
   old_VM_files/

I just want it to give me the things inside trunk, not the trunk
directory itself; i.e. this is what I wanted it to return:

README
foo.doc
cleanScripts/
otherScripts/
old_VM_files/

Is there any way to make sure it does this?
