Table of Contents
The svn-inject utility is intended to import already
packaged source packages into a new subdirectory of the repository,
creating the repository layout as needed. Normally, it takes two
arguments: the .dsc
file of your package and the base URL of the
Subversion repository.
Example 3.1. svn-inject example

If you omit the URL, svn-inject will try to use the URL of the current directory as base URL. I would not rely on this, however.
