In answer to your subject line - there's nothing ruined here, it appears you
are just confused about what directory structure is actually contained
within your repository, and about what various commands actually do. "svn
list" can help you with the former, and some slow careful reading of the
svnbook should help the latter.

Exactly. The above is broadly equivalent to:
svn mkdir -m "initial import" file:///home/chris/programs/trunk
file:///home/chris/programs/tags file:///home/chris/programs/branches
Since those directories already exist in your repository, svn naturally
produced an error.

You don't show command lines, but it sounds like there is nothing wrong
except you don't understand what the commands you are typing actually mean.

Certainly. You don't have a project actually called 'project', after all.

First, understand that a project is nothing more than a directory. Now,
realize that you can arrange directories within a repository however you
like.
So, the fact that you saw something you didn't expect just means you have
arranged your repository in a different way than you thought you had.
Max.
