svn copy won't create them for you if they don't exist.

(you don't need to have a working copy to create a directory: svn
mkdir can work on url.  Unfortunately svn mkdir doesnt have a '-p'
option, so you'd need a separate commit for each directory to be made,
so perhaps checking everything out is the way to go.)

if you already have make-texfontpkg/trunk checked out, you dont need
to do delete it and check it out again, you can just do

mv trunk /tmp/
rm <stuff you dont need>
mv /tmp/trunk ./make-texfontpkg
svn up make-texfontpkg
