Regarding the trunk/tags/branch (TTB) directories that show up within the subversion repository...  Should those be automatically created when I do the "svnadmin create", or should I be creating them myself manually?

Those are best practice, but they're not mandatory, so you add them yourself.

(Usually "branches/" not "branch/".)

Yup - mis-type on my part.
 
5: mkdir $TEMPDIR/{branches,tags,trunk}
6: svn add $TEMPDIR/{branches,tags,trunk}

"svn mkdir" is better -- does both of those in a single step. Do all six in a single step, actually: "svn mkdir branches tags trunk; svn commit"

Yup, I've used those before with pre-made repositories and I've updated my script accordingly.
 
"svn rmdir" will come in handy eventually.
Also, "svn mv" is magically delicious and should *always* be used rather moving something yourself.
Other than that, looks fine to me.  :)

HTH,

Yes, it did very much.  I'm now the sole Subversion knowledgeable person in our group (or at least the only one willing to admit it), so these tasks are now mine. :-)  I really like it since Subversion stays simple and true to the "UNIX Way" of small files, simpler-is-better, etc.

Thankfully the Perl and Linux mailing lists are full of diverse talents!
