Import problem

Hi,

I am using subversion 1.4.6 on OS X. I am using apache to serve the
repositories to clients. I am using Xcode, which has caused trouble
(failing to exclude 'build' from version control, etc)

Somehow a directory (bemSolver08) I had under code control got messed
up - when I looked at the directory through a browser it was reported
as Version 4, but executing 'svn log' from the client shows version
1! For this reason (I think) it was refusing to commit changes. At
this point I am a newbie with subversion, and my 'solution' was to
delete the directory bemSolver08 from my Code repository on the
server. I did this brutally, as 'rm -fr bemSolver08' .

OK - I rebuilt my directory for import as follows:

subversion$ ls /tmp/tmpbemSolver08
branches tags trunk

(All the source code is under 'trunk'.)

Now I try to import, and get this error:

subversion$ svn import /tmp/tmpbemSolver08 file:///Users/subversion/
Code/bemSolver08 --message "Initial bemSolver08 import"
svn: Unable to open an ra_local session to URL
svn: Unable to open repository 'file:///Users/subversion/Code/
bemSolver08'

I see tons of messages from folks about this error, but it always
seems to stem from reversing the positions of code to be imported and
the repository, or in not having three slashes after file: . I seem
to have all that correct, and I have used this same syntax recently
with no problem.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Randy
