As pointed out 'svnadmin create' creates repositories. Just remember:
you only use svnadmin to do things to repositories. (Virtually) All
work on working copies happens with 'svn'.
Personally, when I as learning SVN I found this difficult also. In
Windows I create an 'svninit.bat' file to initialize the directories
for me. However, I soon learned quicker ways.
For unix, I use this:
REPOURL is a URL to the root of the repository (should be a newly
created repo, however, it could also be subproject)
For example REPOURL could be
svn://server/repo
http://server/repo
file://path/to/repo
svn mkdir REPOURL/{trunk,tags,branches} -m "Initial Directory Structure"
This uses the brace expansion magic of bash to create all three
directories in one atomic commit.
On windows, I use this:
set r=REPOURL
svn mkdir %r%/trunk %r%/tags %r%/branches -m "Initial Directory Structure"
To do the same thing.
