I am not even sure why that is still open. You can certainly do stuff
like that today. If this is all new code, just create the folder for
it in the repositry, then checkout that folder to the location where
your code resides. You can then svn add + commit which will leave
behind a working copy. This is even referred to as "In-place import"
which is why I am surprised this issue exists.

As of the next version, you can now even use svn checkout --force to
checkout an actual code tree on top of another code tree. It will
leave the files in place and slide the WC beneath it.
