Hi Ryan:
Thanks for the prompt reply.
Yes, I have been reading the book (as well as the TortoiseSVN help file) and as
I couldn't get things working, I thought I'd ask for help here.
Yes, I do have svnserve running in an open DOS-box. I plan on making it a
service once I've got things running properly.
cityfax is just the name of a directory; not the computer's name.
I truly envy you not using Windows. I plan on moving to Linux at some point. I
keep putting it off. Maybe the wizard can give me a heart.
In the meantime, here are my latest efforts:
G:\>svn import e:\websites\cityfax\site svn://localhost -m"Original import"
svn: No repository found in 'svn://localhost'
G:\>svn ls svn://localhost
svn: No repository found in 'svn://localhost'
G:\>svn ls file://G:/svnrepo
svn: Unable to open an ra_local session to URL
svn: Unable to open repository 'file://G:/svnrepo'
