As much as I feel sympathy to losing data, I think you're going to find a
tough crowd here with regards to what happened.

Right before I got to the part about you losing your data I was going to say
that you should just delete the .svn directory and start over.

I'm also surprised that you would make your first attempt on a foreign tool
with all of your data and not at least copy it to a backup first (or make a
zip, etc.).

I know. Done is done.
