Are you sure you are specifying a REPOSITORY and not a working copy???

OK, now we're going in circles: what you cut and paste is what I've been trying, over and over again, to no avail (as I said in my OP, it didn't like the way I'm specifying my source folder.) I'm sure there's some subtlety that--as a user, not an admin--I'm missing, that those overly-simplified instructions aren't including, but I can't seem to communicate what it is. I'll try posting a transcript of my efforts.

Not sure how we got off list. But, I just used svnsync to move a repo to google code.. it was pretty easy. Just follow the instructions on their wiki page:
How do I import an existing Subversion repository?
To upload the history of an existing Subversion repository, use the svnsync tool that ships with Subversion 1.4 or later. Run svnsync help to read more about this tool.
Note that your Google Code repository must be reset to revision 0<https://code.google.com/p/support/source/detail?r=0> for this to work. Your project's Source tab will display instructions on how to reset the repository yourself. (Note: you must be a project owner to reset your own repository, and also to push code up with svnsync.)
Here's a sample transcript that demonstrates how you can push history from an existing repository (located at file:///my/repos<file:///\\my\repos>) to your repository on Google Code:
$ svnsync init --username YOURUSERNAME https://YOURPROJECT.googlecode.com/svn<http://YOURPROJECT.googlecode.com/svn> file:///path/to/localrepos<file:///\\path\to\localrepos>
Copied properties for revision 0.
$ svnsync sync --username YOURUSERNAME https://YOURPROJECT.googlecode.com/svn<http://YOURPROJECT.googlecode.com/svn>
Committed revision 1.
Copied properties for revision 1.
Committed revision 2.
Copied properties for revision 2.
[...]
When prompted for your password, use your googlecode.com<http://googlecode.com> password, which can be found on the settings tab<http://code.google.com/hosting/settings> of your profile page.
Running svnsync on a large repository will take a significant amount of time. If you are disconnected during the process, you may see the error message "svnsync: Couldn't get lock on destination repos after 10 attempts". If this happens, you can remove the lock yourself; see the "Locks" section of svnsync.txt<http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/notes/svnsync.txt>.

They used to have restrictions--for security--on what kind of executable code you could upload, but I think that was (is?) just for Google docs; AFA Google Code is concerned, seeing as how it's intended as an open source code hub, they allow just about anything (at least, anything text-based)--if there are restrictions, they don't feature them prominently, so I'm not aware of them.

I’ve never used google reports. Do they let you upload and import a dump file?

Why wouldn't I just upload it to Google? I guess what I'm missing is: how does SVN "recognize" history? By path and filename? So, if I preserve that, shouldn't that be enough to preserve the history? Thanks again!

Good point… our just use svnrdump to dump the repo… then you can take that file, load it into a repo on another machine and then sync that to google.

‘svn info WORKINGCOPY’ will tell you the url in the repository and the repository root.
Assuming that you have access to the entire repository you probably want to sync from the repository root to an empty repository to have a local backup. (Look in http://svnbook.red-bean.com for details on how to setup the right hooks, etc)
And with a bit less time pressure you can then sync that to google code.

Subject: Re: Windows file:/// URL format for svnsync
Hi, Ben, and thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, I think that was the first (or perhaps the second) thing I tried, to no avail (also unfortunately, I'm away from my work computer for the rest of the day so I can't check my command history or the error message it generated).
As I think about my sitch, I realize that the folder I thought was the root of the repository probably isn't, because it's the root of the directory tree in which reside all the files that I edit day-to-day, and that's supposed to be a working copy, not the repository itself, correct? Assuming that's correct, my ultimate goal is to "relocate" my project, with history, to a new, empty Google code project (already created and reset)--how should I proceed: should I continue to try to svnsync my new Google project to my existing repository (to which I'll never again have access after tomorrow), and if so, how do I find my repository from knowing where a working copy is ('cause, clearly, I've forgotten)? Or should I just upload my working copy from its root, and then check that out to any place else I want to be able to work on it--would such an upload include the history, and would Google Code recognize it? Please advise/help!
Thanks,
DG

Note that there are 3 forward slashes before the path because you want a blank
host entry.
