Apache Subversion importing empty trunk, tag and branches sub directory to repo

Question

I am new to svn. I am trying to import empty subdirectories trunk, tags and branches into my repo. I have already created the directories but going about importing the subs is a problem I have tried:

svn import myapp file:///c++/21167222/mysvn/myapp/trunk -m "Initial import"

but I get this error instead

svn: E000002: Can't stat '/c++/21167222/mysvn/myapp/trunk/myapp': No such file or directory

Any solution or better way to go about this? Thanks.

Answer 1

You need to create a directory with all three subdirectories in it. And after that, you add the first one to your repository.

mkdir -p init/branches init/tags init/trunk
svn import init/ file://c++/21167222/mysvn/myapp -m "Initial import"
