you did not create the repository.
you need to run command " svnadmin create /path/to/svn/repository "
if you ls the actual repositry you will not see the internal structure
of the repository
you should see something like the following
[jared@jhlaptop jared]$ ls -alt svn/project/
total 36
drwxrwxr-x 2 jared jared 4096 Jul 8 16:11 db
drwxrwxr-x 7 jared jared 4096 Jul 8 16:11 .
-r--r--r-- 1 jared jared 2 Jul 8 16:11 format
drwxrwxr-x 2 jared jared 4096 Jul 8 16:11 conf
drwxrwxr-x 2 jared jared 4096 Jul 8 16:11 hooks
-rw-rw-r-- 1 jared jared 376 Jul 8 16:11 README.txt
drwxrwxr-x 2 jared jared 4096 Jul 8 16:11 locks
drwxrwxr-x 2 jared jared 4096 Jul 8 16:11 dav
drwxrwxr-x 3 jared jared 4096 Jul 8 16:10 ..
after you create the repository create a temp folder. In the temp folder
create the initial
structrure ie: trunk branches tags etc. you can also put any project
code into trunk.
Next run command " svn import temp
file:///path/to/svn/repository -m
"Initial Import" "
after the import you no longer need this temp folder.
now you can checkout the project
to view what is in the repository use the "svn ls"
" svn ls
file:///path/to/svn/repository "
