Question regarding "@" symbol

Hello.

I read the Subversion documentation (in
particular the "Peg and Operative Revisions"
section) for how to handle versioning of
directories with names that contain the "@"
symbol. But I am still confused by something.

I want to use the "import" command to import a
tree that includes subdirectories with names
that contain the "@" symbol. For example I
would like to do the following (using the
Windows syntax):

svn import c:\myPath\myDirTree file:///c:/svn/repo/myProject -m "Initial import."

The directory tree "myDirTree" contains
subdirectories with names that contain the "@"
symbol.

The command executes without reporting any
problems.

But is it OK to use this command? Or instead
of using the "import" command should I instead
do a bunch of "add" commands and use the
workaround discussed in the "Peg and Operative
Revisions" section of the manual (append "@"
at the end of the path)?

The reason I cannot avoid using directories
whose names contain "@" is that Matlab has
users place class-based code in directories
whose name begins with "@".

Thank you in advance.
