Problems creating trunk and branches from existing repository

Hi,

I had a repository with no trunk or branches and wanted to create structure
that allowed that. I am having trouble figuring out why when I create a
branch, I am getting a "trunk" subdirectory at the top of my branch when I
do an svn copy or svn update after an svn switch. This is causing big
problems when doing an svn switch to point newly created branches to the
trunk...I want *just* the subdirectories in the trunk to be displayed in the
branch, not branchname > trunk > subdirectories.

I'm following the directions in the subversion book
(http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn-book.html#svn.branchmerge.using.
create), and I made a trunk directory and a branches/allison directory and
then moved everything from events to events/trunk (see commands used below).
Then to copy what was in the trunk directory to the allison branch, I was
unable to do move things in the way the book suggested:

svn copy svn+ssh://events@svn.berkeley.edu/svn/events/trunk
svn+ssh://events@svn.berkeley.edu/svn/events/branches/Allison

...because it created a trunk directory under "allison". I had to instead to
copy each individual folder under trunk, like this:
svn copy
svn+ssh://events@svn.berkeley.edu/svn/events/trunk/FreeEnergyModules
svn+ssh://events@svn.berkeley.edu/svn/events/branches/Allison

Now I am doing switches like this on other checkouts to point them to trunk:
svn switch svn+ssh://events@svn.berkeley.edu/svn/events/trunk

But when I do an svn update, I get a directory structure with branchname >
trunk > subdirectories, which is definitely not what I want.

I am really in need of some assistance here...any help is appreciated!!

Thanks!
Allison
