Yup, that was it: I wasn't trying to sync my repo, I was trying to sync my
wc; luckily, I'm cleaning out as much of my stuff as I can find and I found
a folder on my C: drive called SVN, and inside that, a folder called
Repo--when I used that for file:/// everything worked; of course, now it's
uploading the whole 1210 commit history one commit at a time! Ouch...I now
see why Bert said "w/ a bit little less time pressure." Well, I have a
meeting at two: hopefully it'll run long, and if it doesn't finish by the
end of that, I'll just leave my computer running as I run out the door! :-)
Thanks all!!!
