Weird, I was sure I had used svn init in the past. Seems like I've spent too
much time with bzr and git lately.
But in any case, I find it confusing that I can't initialize a working copy
like that in svn - this actually makes a lot more sense in git. Versions
could add that as a kind of compound action, so I don't have to do the two
steps of importing and then checking out.
