svn mkdir vs mkdir in svn

svn

Solution

It is different.

Running `svn mkdir` creates the directory in your project in the repository. When you checked out the project, `svn` put the new directory in your working copy.

If you ran `mkdir` alone, you would need to commit the new directory to the repository.

Problem

I've run a command `svn mkdir file:///home/abc/workspace/svn/proj/trunk`, the thing is the trunk directory cannot be navigated when I run `cd` command. But, when I run `svn checkout file:///home/abc/workspace/svn/`, it gives the following: ``` A svn/proj A svn/proj/trunk Checked out revision ``` How do I understand this, is it `svn mkdir` different from UNIX `mkdir` command?
