Correct, kind of (see later)

Correct..., but the TTB directories commands are incorrect...

Incorrect.
Use "svn mkdir" for these, e.g.
svn mkdir http://servername/svn/repository/trunk -m "Creating trunk"
svn mkdir http://servername/svn/repository/tags -m "Creating tags"
svn mkdir http://servername/svn/repository/branches -m "Creating
branches"
Alternatively, after "svnadmin create" checkout the virgin repository to
a new working copy, use your shell to create the TTB directories, then
commit all in one commit:
svnadmin create /path/to/repos
mkdir WC
svn co http://servername/svn/repository WC
mkdir WC/trunk
mkdir WC/tags
mkdir WC/branches
svn ci WC -m "Cretaing TTB"
(FWIW, I prefer the 2nd method).
Also FWIW, I had a quick peek at the manual and tend to agree with you;
the command given is "svn ls" *after* the TTB directories have been
created. I think it would be more useful to show "svn mkdir" instead,
at least for the trunk directory (tags and branches is probably
overkill, and my preferred TTB creation method is possibly confusing at
that stage). Do you fancy making a suggestion to the manual'l list?!
