[TSVN] Checkout - first timer

I am just starting with TSVN and I don't know if I am doing the right
thing. What I am getting is not really what I expected. I am running
Windows XP Pro. I did the following:

1) Created an empty folder, with path SVNRepositories\lib.
2) Created a repository in that folder.
3) Created another folder with path EViews\lib.
4) Created the folders EViews\lib\trunk, EViews\lib\branches, and
EViews\lib\tag.
5) Copied some program files to EViews\lib\trunk.
5) Right-clicked on EViews\lib and imported it into SVNRepositories\lib.
6) Deleted the folders EViews\lib\trunk, EViews\lib\branches, and
EViews\lib\tag, so that EViews\lib became empty.
7) Right-clicked on EViews\lib and checked it out to EViews\lib. I did not
check out the box "Only check out the top folder" and I chose Head Revision.

The result of all this was the following:

1) Two folders were created within EViews\lib. One has a faint folder icon
(maybe a link), and has the name .svn. The other is a normal (not faint)
folder icon, except that it has a green ball with a white checkmark on its
lower-left corner. The name of this folder is conf.

2) Within the .svn folder there was a bunch of other folders and files that
seemed to have no interest to me.

3) Within the conf folder there was another .svn folder and three folders
called trunk, branches, and tag, all with green and white checkmarks.
Within each of these folders there was another .svn folder. The
EViews\lib\conf\trunk folder also contained the program files I had copied
originally to (and later deleted from) EViews\lib\trunk.

My main question relates to the conf folder. My original folders and files
were in EViews\lib\trunk, and after the checkout my files are in
EViews\lib\conf\trunk. Did I do something wrong or is this the way things
should be? Why would this layer of the conf folder added, and is there a
way to avoid this?

Many thanks for any help.
