Checkout a working copy of the repository  or at least the subdirectory that you want to add the files to   svn checkout https   example org path to repo bleh Copy the files over there  svn add file1 file2    svn commit  I am not aware of a quicker option  Note  if you are on the same machine as your Subversion repository  the URL can use the file  specifier with a path in place of https  in the svn checkout command  For example svn checkout file    path to repo bleh  PS  as pointed out in the comments and other answers  you can use something like svn import    lt URL gt  if you want to recursively import everything in the current directory  With this option  however  you can t skip over some of the files  it s all or nothing

Probably svn import would be the best option around  Check out Getting Data into Your Repository  in Version Control with Subversion  For Subversion    The svn import command is a quick way to copy an unversioned tree of files into a repository  creating intermediate directories as necessary  svn import doesn t require a working copy  and your files are immediately committed to the repository  You typically use this when you have an existing tree of files that you want to begin tracking in your Subversion repository  For example    svn import  path to mytree                http   svn example com svn repo some project                -m  quot Initial import quot  Adding         mytree foo c Adding         mytree bar c Adding         mytree subdir Adding         mytree subdir quux h  Committed revision 1     The previous example copied the contents of the local directory mytree into the directory some project in the repository  Note that you didn t have to create that new directory first   svn import does that for you  Immediately after the commit  you can see your data in the repository    svn list http   svn example com svn repo some project bar c foo c subdir     Note that after the import is finished  the original local directory is not converted into a working copy  To begin working on that data in a versioned fashion  you still need to create a fresh working copy of that tree   Note  if you are on the same machine as the Subversion repository you can use the file    specifier with a path rather than the https    with a URL specifier

Before you can add files in an unversioned directory  you have to add the directory itself to the versioning   svn add directory name   will add the directory directory name and all sub-directories  http   svnbook red-bean com en 1 8 svn ref svn c add html

Normally svn add   works  But if you get message like svn  warning  W150002  due to mix off versioned and non-versioned files in working copy  Use this command   svn add  lt path to directory gt  --force   or  svn add   --force
