It sounds like you are conflating the concepts of the repository
(which is an opaque database that can only be browsed using SVN API's)
and the working copy, which is a checked out instance of a specific
revision from the repository. The Ruby tool would likely only be
looking at the latter.
It sounds like the URL you are entering for your SVN repository is not
the proper URL to access it.
I would never put the repository in My Documents or any folder with a
space in it. I would stick it somewhere like C:\repos, then access it
via this URL:
file:///repos
