I showed how to create a repository (Create repository here) and then wanted to show how to import a project into the newly created repository. Since the Repository Browser only gave options 1 and 2, and the new repository was not (yet) in the drop-down list, I had to go with option 1. Then I had to remember the full path to the newly-created repository. A few embarrassing moments later, I succeeded and we imported the project.

It is already there.
1. Do "SVN Checkout..." command,
2. clear anything from the URL field (or type anything that is not an URL),
3. click "..." button
-> The "Choose directory" system dialog opens.
The following also works:
1. Open your repository folder in Windows Explorer
2. Do "TortoiseSVN -> Repo-browser" command
-> Repository browser starts browsing your local repository
3. You can perform Checkout from within Repository browser window,
using context menu there.
IIRC the second recipe may be new in 1.7. The first one worked in 1.6 as well.
BTW, You should know that command-line tools are now included in TSVN
1.7 installer. So you may consider using svnserve for your
demonstrations.
