How can I import previously existing Folders for versioning

I have 3 different versions of a programm, each placed in a different folder, containing the changes of sourcecode. Now I decided to use svn to track changes instead of storing a copy in a different folder each time I changed something.    How can I import the existing folders to svn as if I did the changes in the same folder? Right now I get messages that files already exist or I have to delete files although they are somehow the same and just changed.    Thanx

Import one, commit. Copy the new file into the working copy overwriting the old one. Commit. Repeat as needed.

mkc...Copy the new file into the working copy overwriting the old one. Commit. Repeat as needed.

   What's about the deleted files ? It seems that the only way to do that is to use a sync-program like rsync. Is there any way to solve it with subversion itself ?

Hello,    I don't think there's a SVN built-in solution for deleted files.    But, it should be simple to make a shell script to detect deleted files and  schedule them for deletion.    David
