Import only takes the directory you point it at and loads it into the
repository.

If you want to keep that directory around *and* make it a WC, I think
you're looking for an in-place import.

Since you've already done the import, you can either delete or move
the imported copy to another location, then check out from the
repository to the place where you need it.
