title: SVN in-place import and checkout
body: <p>Using the Linux command line and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_Subversion" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Subversion</a>, is it possible to take a directory and add version control to it?</p>
  
  <p>Basically, I want to import the directory into a newly created repository, but also have the directory be a working copy without having to check it out. </p>
