The subversion repository is a database with its own file/folder structure
(conf for internal settings, db for the actual data, hooks for server side
scripts that are run on specific events and locks to keep track of
temporary locks during actions like commits).

Your committed files and their history is stored in tables inside this
database and can be accessed through subversion clients (such as
TortoiseSVN).

If you want to see the contents of the repository, start the TSVN
Repository Browser. This will give you an Explorer-like view of the
repository content, allowing you to look at the current revision and all
earlier revisions.
