Hi Phil,
check out the svn/files/ directory into one working copy, say
~/cse491-files/
and check out your repository into another working copy, say
~/cse491/
now, copy any files you want from ~/cse491-files/ into ~/cse491/ --
files, but not directories -- and svn add them.
For example,
cp ~/cse491-files/hw1/form.html ~/cse491/hw1/form.html
and then do
cd ~/cse491/hw1/
svn add form.html
Hope that helps!
cheers,
