Note that as Guido pointed out this really is the definition of the URL
that is the problem.
And that
svn ls file:///path_to_repos
(with 3 slashes) is effectively the same as
svn ls file://localhost/path_to_repos
Just like using a web URL as in http://server/....
So your import command should be:
svn import .\tmp\project file:///path/to/repos/project -m "Initial import"
Note that I added project assuming you probably want this, see the book
for more recommendations on repository layouts.
No need for cygwin - tho it is a good addition anyway, and no need to
dive into the RFC's so long as the URLs are specified correctly.
Hope this helps.
