Ok, then the path to your repository is:
file:///tst_repository
or
file:///c:/tst_repository
The path to the repo should be displayed in the repo browser which you seemed to be able to open.
Also, if that is the path to your repository then you should NOT be importing that folder. once you create the repository you don't touch that folder or its contents. Create a new folder like
But, it seems like you missed step 1 in section 3.5.1 of the help:
1. create a new empty folder on your hard drive
2. create your desired top-level folder structure inside that folder - don't put any files in it yet!
3. import this structure into the repository via a right click on the folder and selecting TortoiseSVN → Import... This will import your temp folder into the repository root to create the basic repository layout.
Step one really means a NEW folder. Not your repository folder. As I said, once you create your repo don't touch it again. Hands off.
