Create the directory structure from the administration interface

      (https://svn.eecs.yorku.ca/admin.php)

Add the users that you want to access the repository (allow Access Allow Modify)

The directory must be created by the owner of the repository In this case (You). If however the user is at the top level of your repository, with (Allow Modify access) he/she can add the directory as well

  $  svn mkdir https://svn.eecs.yorku.ca/repos/seela/xyz
