I've seen these and similar messages when you are trying to work
directly in a repository, but you do not specify the repository URL
using the correct syntax. You can't cd into a repository from your
shell and then run svn mkdir trunk. It will tell you '." is not a
working copy. You have to run svn mkdir and then give the correct
repository access URL scheme... in your case it is
file:///path/projectA. If you were doing this on a Windows file share
it, might be file:///M:/path/project. See Table 2.1 in the book for
more details...

I'm not sure what those errors are about either. Since I'm supplying
complete repository URLs to "svn mkdir," it doesn't require or make
use of a working copy, so it shouldn't complain about the working
directory not being one. Also not sure about the second error.
Yes, creating the directory structure locally and importing it would
have the same effect, and this is in fact what I usually end up
doing, because I didn't know before trying it out to send you the
above (or else I forgot) that you can give "svn mkdir" multiple URLs
to create in a single revision.
