I assume the user ran "svnadmin create" in their working copy, and
then added those files, and then committed them (perhaps with the
help of TortoiseSVN which of course makes it easy to add and commit
files in one step). The user should be instructed to use "svn status"
and "svn diff" before each commit to ensure that the changes about to
be committed to the repository are in fact changes the user wishes to
make.
