According to your screenshot you have your physical repository
directories checked into your repository! I.e.

Ibis Tech Repository/
        /Code
        /conf # physical repository
        /dav # physical repository
        /db # physical repository
        /Documentation
        /hooks # physical repository
        /locks # physical repository
        ...

I'd guess your problem is a result of misunderstanding the relationship
between the repository and your working copy.

Your physical repository contains the conf, dav, db, hooks, etc.
directories. Unless you are doing database administration you never
touch the files in this directory.

Your working copy is a completely separate directory, created by doing a
checkout, which contains editable copies of the files contained inside
the database (not the physical database files themselves).

The physical database files and your actual project files should *never*
be mixed in the same directory.

You'd probably benefit from reading over the TortoiseSVN manual's
administration section.
