How to get initial working copy without doing a checkout?

Hi,

Is there any way to import and checkout a new working directory at the same
time?

When I have a large working directory that I want to place under revision
control, and therefore do an import in to my repository, it's a little silly
to rename my original directory and then do a checkout of the just imported
directory back to my machine under the original directory name.

Isn't there a way to do this all at once so that a large directory doesn't
have to travel up the wire and then back down again, even though I am
totally sure that the two directories are identical?

This is especially painful because I am experiencing very large checkout
times for large directories (significantly larger times than it took to
import the same directory)...

Thanks...
