After a couple of errors, I successfully added babl to extra. Here's the 
missing steps I had to do to make it work.


$ svn checkout -N svn+ssh://archlinux.org/home/svn-packages/
$ cd svn-packages
$ mkdir babl
$ svn add babl
$ svn commit

If you don't 'svn commit' here you'll get this error:
  $ extrapkg "Added to [extra] repo"
babl-0.0.20-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz 
100%   79KB  79.5KB/s   00:00
File integrity okay.
===> Uploaded babl-0.0.20-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz
svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: '/home/eric/svnroot/svn-packages/babl' is not under version control 
and is not part of the commit, yet its child '/home/eric/svnroot/svn
-packages/babl/trunk' is part of the commit
Cancelled

Then we do:
$ cd babl
$ mkdir trunk repos
$ svn add trunk repos
$ svn commit

I'm not sure if this 'svn commit' is necessary but you also need to create 
the repos dir otherwise you get this error:
$ extrapkg "Added to [extra] repo"
babl-0.0.20-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz 
100%   79KB  79.5KB/s   00:00
File integrity okay.
===> Uploaded babl-0.0.20-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz
===> Commited with "upgpkg: babl 0.0.20-1
     Added to [extra] repo" message
~/svnroot/svn-packages/babl ~/svnroot/svn-packages/babl/trunk
svn: Path 'repos' is not a directory
/usr/bin/archrelease: line 12: pushd: repos/extra-x86_64: No such file or 
directory

required.

Cancelled

Not sure if archrelease can be fixe to add the repos dir if missing.

After, it's the usual: cd trunk then copy the PKGBUILD and other build 
files, 'svn add' them, copy package in trunk then run extrapkg.
