What I haven't understood in this thread is why you think that's easier than using the corresponding Subversion commands.

For example, if you were planning on using "mkdir", "cp" and "mv" to arrange your new project, why can't you use "svn mkdir", "svn cp" and "svn mv" instead, and then once you're happy with it "svn commit" it?

Why wouldn't it preserve the history? Preserving history is the whole point.
