Huh? You said earlier that you had created a repository and used the
repository browser to create folders in it.
I think you are confusing the repository with other folders. You
create a repository in c:\tst_repository. That is the database where
your files and folders are stored. The URL of that repository is
file:///c:/tst_repository
If you want to import into that repository, the URL needed is the one
above. Create a folder structure somewhere else, like
C:\tmp\Spectrogram_Replacement. Then right click on that tmp folder
and select import. Enter the URL as file:///c:/tst_repository and
click on OK.
Now if you use the repository browser you will see your imported
files. Note that you don't have a working copy yet. You need to
checkout into another empty folder (I know, Subversion's import is not
as obvious or friendly as it might be). Now you have a working copy
which contains your latest and greatest, and from which you can commit
changes to the repository.
If you think the original instructions are not clear, please let us
know how they could be improved, or at least which part is
unclear/ambiguous.
