This shouldn't be a problem. The easiest way to do this would be with a
checkout of the existing code. Create a directory called trunk. Then svn move
all the other files and directories into trunk. Then create branches and tags
directory and commit all those changes. By using svn move you retain the
history of the files and directories.

You shouldn't need to shut down anything either. I've done this before but not
with other working copies with modifications so I'm not sure if there will be
issues with merge problems.
