Thank you *very much*, Nick. This is exactly what I was hoping for. The
app has been a one-man (me) development effort, and SVN wasn't used even
remotely well, so the history is not important.

Thank you again. That's perfect.

I do have one more right away. How do I get rid of the repositories I've
got now? Do I just delete using Windows Explorer? Or do I need to do it
through TortiseSVN and/or SVN to keep them from getting confused?
