XML error prevents connecting to VisualSVN Server

I am trying to get SVN up and running on my own PC. I have installed VisualSVN server and it is running and I have created some repositories. Now I want to start stuffing source code into it.

However, I cannot find any Tortoise commands in the shell context menu that would let me do this. The only even remotely useful-looking command is "repo-browser," and when I try to connect to the URL given by the VisualSVN management console -- "https://Desktop5/svn" -- I get the error:

    "Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'https://desktop5'
    The OPTIONS request returned invalid XML in the response: XML parse error at
    line 1: no element found (https://desktop5)"

I am not using any proxies, I am not using ssh (as far as I know), and the only reason I'm using https instead of plain http is because that's what VisualSVN tells me its URL is.

I have read help/documentation/manuals at the VisualSVN and Tortoise websites and neither says anything much about the other, or even really how to make an SVN client communicate with an SVN server in general. The SVN book likewise.

So... Is the Tortoise client inherently incompatible with the VisualSVN server? If not, what do I have to do to make this work?

Thanks in advance for any light you can shed.
