“import” and “checkout” are polar opposites.
“Import” is to bring something completely outside of version control into SVN.
Once something is under SVN control, you can “commit” (new modifications), or “checkout” (stuff you’ve already committed).
At any time, you can “export” some or all of your project into a “clean directory”. The source you’ve exported is not under version control.
You “import into” and “export out of” SVN.
You “commit” and “checkout” stuff that’s already under SVN control.
