Is it possible to pre-define new project structure in TortoiseSVN/VisualSVN?

Question

Is it possible with TortoiseSVN/VisualSVN to pre-define a project structure so you can simply click "new project" or similar?

e.g. in VisualSVN you can Create new project and you get trunk/branch/tag folders automatically.

However, I'd like to do the same in TortoiseSVN (so users can do this without needing VisualSVn acess)

AND/OR

I'd like to pre-set more folders than this, so e.g.

trunk/docs
trunk/src
trunk/database
trunk/elephant

etc...

is any of this possible?

Since Subversion stores your versioned history using, at the very least, binary differencing algorithms and data compression (optionally in a completely opaque database system), attempting manual tweaks is unwise, if not quite difficult, and at any rate strongly discouraged. And once data has been stored in your repository, Subversion generally doesn't provide an easy way to remove that data.

for you, svn mkdir will do the job. Reference

With up-to-date VisualSVN Server and TortoiseSVN you get request about creating default layout after creating repository. Non-standard trees are not supported, but you can always write bat-file for this task
