There are plenty of tutorials explaining how to setup Subversion on a Windows machine. Not so many good tutorials on how to actually use Subversion in the real world. In the rel world you sometimes need to apply Subversion to a bunch of files and folders that already exist. Applying Subversion to an already existing directory is more obfuscated than it needs to be. The user manual would have you believe that you need to Import, delete the directory, do a Checkout.

But what if you don't want to Import all files and sub-folders? It's the kind of thing you need to do very rarely, but when you do, it's always a pain to remember exactly the best way to go about it. But it's actually pretty simple: the key is to use SVN Add files rather than the SVN Import functionality.
