True about the client server. Not necessarily true about this repo.
He could have created a repo in PROJECT\SVN and access it via the file://
protocol. I assumed as much. I would recommend that he put them somewhere
else (I used c:\repos\svn\*, where * is a dir per repository, under Windows)
and then use svnserve. However, since he's having problems with this part
of svn, I didn't want to add to the confusion.
OP: You can tell using the TSVN (or Explorer) 'Properteries' tab, or using
CLI "svn info".
The key point to keep in mind: there is ONE repository and MANY working
copies. You must have at least one working copy (for normal usage).
