TortoiseSVN - add folder

Question

I want to add a new folder to the SVN project using TortoiseSVN. Is this a correct way to do this?

1) Make a checkout - this will download the project to my computer (if I change/delete something - won't this affect the svn files?)

2) Drag the folder, right-click, add - this will add the folder to the svn.

Is this all?

Thanks! I don't want to mess anything up, sorry for this kind of question.

Yes, I think you've basically got the right idea. But just to be clear, the steps are:

1. Checkout a working copy (WC)
2. In your WC, create a new folder (using whatever means your operating system offers; mkdir, "New Folder", whatever..)
3. Right-click on the folder, and from the Subversion menu, choose "Add"
4. Commit to repository
