For importing files you currently works with.
You can issue the command svn import -m "the-import-message" [folder-name]

To excludes files that not to be versioned you can checkout the config file,
1.) window on %userprofile%\subversion\config with this line
global-ignores =

Sorry for that I'm never works with subverison on linux before.

In addition, you may check the subversion book on subversion.tigris.org.
