Hrmph. I couldn't get the example in the doc to work whentrying
it with a toy example:

jg_at_work ~/work/svntest
$ svn import ./foobar file:///mnt/h/svn/GDJ/foobar -m "initial drop"
svn: Unable to open an ra_local session to URL
svn: Unable to open repository 'file:///mnt/h/svn/GDJ/foobar'

where:
jg_at_work ~/work/svntest
$ ls -la /mnt/h/svn
total 0
drwxr-xr-x+ 1 jg Domänen-Benutzer 0 May 21 14:46 .
drwx------+ 1 Administratoren Domänen-Benutzer 0 May 21 14:40 ..
drwxr-xr-x+ 1 jg Domänen-Benutzer 0 May 21 12:56 jg

Accessing the jg project is fine:
jg_at_work ~/work/svntest
$ svn list file:///mnt/h/svn/jg
.bashrc
.bashrc.d/
.emacs.d/
.emacs.el
.gnus/
.gnus.el

Of course, GDJ doesn't exist. Am I supposed to create this first?
Apparently so, although the documentation doesn't mention this:
jg_at_work ~/work/svntest
$ svnadmin create /mnt/h/svn/GDJ

jg_at_work ~/work/svntest
$ svn import /home/jg/work/svntest/foobar file:///mnt/h/svn/GDJ/foobar
-m "initial drop"
Adding ...(many files)
...
Committed revision 1.

But I still get a very similar error when I try to to tag the
stuff. The tagging of the "vendor data" went okay, but, after
creating my project structure:
$ svn import . file:///mnt/h/svn/myproject -m "create project structure"
Adding trunk
Adding branches
Adding tags

Committed revision 1.

when trying to copy the "vendor data":
jg_at_work ~/work/svntest
$ svn copy file:///mnt/h/svn/GDJ/foobar/0.1 \
file:///mnt/h/svn/myproject/trunk/foobar \
-m "bring foobar-0.1 into driver project"
svn: Unable to open an ra_local session to URL
svn: Unable to open repository 'file:///mnt/h/svn'

Huh? "Unable to open repository 'file:///mnt/h/svn'"? To which
URL is it even referring?
