I'm trying to set up a local repository so that all commitments are copied to the local destination, not a remote server. I followed this tutorial.
What I did.
- Created a folder named "SVN_Repo" under C:\Documents and Settings[user-name]\My Documents\
- Right clicked on the folder and chose
TortoiseSVN -> Create repository here
- Clicked
OK
in the pop up dialog asking whether to create a directory structure. - Created a folder named
Repos
for the local destination, under E:\ - Right clicked on the
SVN_Repo
folder and choseSVN Checkout...
-
Typed
file:///E:\repos
in theURL of repository
field and clicked the OK button. -
What I got:
Checkout from file:///E:/repos, revision HEAD, Fully recursive, Externals included
Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'file:///E:/repos'
Unable to open an ra_local session to URL
Unable to open repository 'file:///E:/repos'
I must be doing something wrong. Could somebody point it out? Thanks.

Until step #4 you were doing OK.
Step 5 should be - Right click
Repos
folder and chooseSVN Checkout...
Step 6 should be - Type
file:///C:\Documents and Settings[user-name]\My Documents\
in the URL of repository field and click the OK button.Then you can copy files into your
Repos
folder (a better naming could beSourceCode
folder) and check them in.
