The examples given in the manual are exactly that - **examples**. It
doesn't mean you have to use those exact names. If you create a
repository in C:/SVN there is no point in trying to import into
C:/SVNTest. You have to use a bit of common sense.

If the manual is unclear, please let us know where the conflicting
information is. But it is a big manual, so we need to know which
section number(s) you're having trouble with. It's no good just saying
the manual is inadequate as that doesn't help us to find and correct
the problem areas.
