Creating a new directory in the repository

New directories in the repository can be created with svn mkdir. The new directory can be provided in two ways - either as a full url and will be created directly in the repository or as a relative path in the local working copy. The first way does not require a checked-out local copy and looks like this:

$ svn mkdir https://localhost/svn/repo1/helloworld/trunk/docs

The second one does require a local working copy:

$ svn mkdir docs
A         docs
$ svn commit -m "added new dir"
