--parents is supported for urls below a repository, but I agree that we should reduce the number of errors that show this hint.

(If we ever try to create a directory under .svn/ during an 'svn mkdir PATH' operation, and fail to do so, we shouldn't suggest --parents either; but I'm not sure how we would detect that.) Daniel
