You either need to do svn mkdir using a URL so that it is created
directly in the repository. Such as:
svn mkdir -m "Initial" file:///repos/Project
svn mkdir -m "Initial" file:///repos/Project/trunk
svn mkdir -m "Initial" file:///repos/Project/branches
etc...
Or, if running the mkdir on your local WC, you need to have a WC. This
would mean you have run svn checkout to create a WC. You could checkout
the empty root of your repository:
svn co file:///repos
Then run svn mkdir locally on the WC followed by a single commit. The
error is saying that the command is being run locally in a directory
that is not a WC. To make it a WC, it needs to have been created by
checkout.
