svnadmin create doesn't create branches/tags/trunk; it creates
conf/db/hooks/locks. So which thing do you mean?

Then it seems sort of strange to have it there.

AFAIK Subversion doesn't care about the names of files and directories
that it versions (with some probable corner cases -- e.g. I wouldn't
recommend trying to version a directory named ".svn").
