Easiest/Quickest way to created a Repo from Dir and Make working copy?

If I've got a directory structure full of files and subdirectories that is
not currently a working copy and for which there is no current repository or
directory within a repository, what is the most efficient way to "import"
the directory structure and turn it into a working copy?

I know I can import it, then delete the local copy and then check it out.
However if there are lots of large files then this seems outrageously
inefficient, since the checkout is going to nothing but pull down exactly
what's there already any way. If I try checking out to the directory
without purging it first, then Subversion complains that files with the same
names are already present and it wont check out. Isn't there some way to
perform a check out and tell Subversion to not replace, but also not error
out on files with the same name that already exist?
