Subversion. What a pile.

I've just worked through the initial checkin of the website HTML, CSS and associate files into the Google code project using subversion. Man. The people who wrote that thing obviously do not have to use it. All I'm getting are "you can't do that" roadblocks. This would be so easy in Perforce....

Can't get (checkout) the files I just "imported" into the repository from the directory where I imported 'em - I have to check them out into a different dir ("object of the same name already exists"). These files are in the right place for Apache, so all kinds of file copying or directory rename shenanegans are necessary for svn. I can't check out a single file as a test ("object of the same name already exists"). Subversion just doesn't do that! That is so pathetic.
