Import on TortoiseSVN?

Question

I am trying to set up TortoiseSVN. I am using the Windows version and using the context menu, you right click and it has some options.

For initially getting my files

Answer 1

The reason I don't like using import is that you don't end up with a working copy after doing the import. When I have been working on some code and decide I want to add it to a new repository, I just check out the new (empty) repository over top of my existing code. Once you have done that, you have turned your code into a working copy and you can now add and commit (or ignore) any files you want. Much simpler than import, IMO.
