Ansible - Create svn repositories if they do not exist

How do I create a list of Subversion repositories (using svnadmin create) with Ansible only if they do not already exist?

The key is to use the creates argument for the command module, which tells Ansible not to re-run the command if the given path exists. Here is an example playbook:

---
- hosts: all
  vars:
    - svn_repositories: ['test1', 'test2']
    - svn_data_dir: /var/svn
  tasks:
    - name: Create missing svn repositories
      command: "svnadmin create '{{svn_data_dir}}/{{item}}'"
      args:
        creates: "{{svn_data_dir}}/{{item}}/README.txt"
      with_items: "{{svn_repositories}}"
