I'm glad I asked! Is it possible to populate a module one file at a time with the add command? If so, how do I create an empty module called htdocs when the existing htdocs directory has a lot of garbage in it? I want to do this because I have a lot of garbage in the htdocs directory and I only want some files (and some subdirectories, but not all) to be under version control.

That can't be right... checkout != import. A quick check shows that this does *not* do anything like an import and the book is in error - in fact what it actually does is exactly what it looks like it does, checkout the root of the repository into a subdirectory. Do not do this, things will get horribly confused.
