I also saw why we assumed it was only a warning. It looks like this step
that followed our "pkgrepo create" does the creation on an empty

$ pfexec pkg create file:///var/pkg/testrepo
pkgrepo: A package repository (or directory) already exists at
'/var/pkg/testrepo/'
$ ls /var/pkg/testrepo/
[EMPTY]
$ pfexec pkgrepo -s file:///var/pkg/testrepo set
publisher/prefix=opensolaris.org
$ ls /var/pkg/testrepo/
file pkg5.repository
This would eliminate the need to run pkgrepo create. Was that
intentional?
Yes, for compatibility with older repositories during format upgrade,
and because the new format doesn't require any of the directory
structure the old ones had.
To be clear, although it was intentional that the command be able to
deal with this, I wouldn't rely on this behaviour for this particular
scenario.
I've filed bug 16979 to change the repository class to allow empty
target directories for creation operations.
