I missunderstood the share project wizard in Eclipse (subclipse plugin),
in step 2 it offers to 'create a new repository location'. Now this
practically only seems to create folders in the exisiting repository, I
will use the command line create syntax to create my repositories in the
future.

I finally found out what's up when I discovered svnlook tree. Now I can
create the 'real' new repositories as described in my other mail.
Thanks for your help,
