Excellent, wasn't sure how you guys felt about this :-)

About the guideline then it says to create the directories manually
and copy them through the filesystem with cp and I did this for one
package and then when I issued svn add
octave-forge-pkgs/octave-statistics/trunk I got

svn: 'octave-forge-pkgs/octave-statistics' is not a working copy
svn: Can't open file
'octave-forge-pkgs/octave-statistics/.svn/entries': No such file or
directory
