I don't know much about rails, never used it, and this isn't really a
rails-specific question, but it's easy to answer:

The easier way is called an in-place import, described in the FAQ:

http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#in-place-import

You would create the strawr directory with:

rails strawr --database=sqlite3"

Then you check out the empty Google Code repository directory right
on top of it:

svn checkout https://strawr.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ strawr --
username hawat.thufir

Now you "svn add" the umpteen files and directories.

If adding the umpteen files and directories is what's bothering you,
then maybe you want a regular import instead. After you create the
strawr directory:

rails strawr --database=sqlite3"

Go into it and import everything into the repository:

cd strawr
svn import * https://strawr.googlecode.com/svn/trunk

Then delete the strawr directory and check it out again from the
repository.

rm -rf strawr
svn checkout https://strawr.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ strawr --
username hawat.thufir
