title: SVN: workflow of importing existing project to a new rep
body: <p>I can't wrap my ahead around one step you have to do after you import your already existing project (already working code, etc.) into a new repository.</p>
  
  <p>Everything goes like this:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><strong>svnadmin create</strong> C:/Reps/MillionDollarApp</li>
  <li><strong>svn import</strong> C:/myCode/MillionDollarApp file:///C:/Reps/MillionDollarApp -m "Initial import"</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Now, the code from C:/myCode/MillionDollarApp sits in its repository, however, SVN still does not tracks the code inside C:/myCode/MillionDollarApp.</p>
  
  <p>How do you do that?
   How to start tracking project's code you just imported?</p>
  
  <p>Do you delete everything from C:/myCode/MillionDollarApp and checkout from repository?
  Do you checkout without deleting the code? These two solutions feels just wrong. </p>
  
  <p>Most tutorials/examples goes like this: </p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Create new repo</li>
  <li>Import from existing project (ex, c:/code)</li>
  <li>Checkout to another place (ex., c:/code2)</li>
  <li>Work with code you just checkouted (c:/code2) (what do you do with code in c:/code ????)</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>But in my situation I need:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Create new repo</li>
  <li>Import from existing project (c:/code)</li>
  <li><strong>?????</strong></li>
  <li>Work and use version control features with the same code (c:/code) </li>
  </ol>
