title: trying to set up tortoise svn - newbie question
body: <p>I am trying to set up an svn on my windows computer to keep track of versions.
  i've downloaded tortoise svn, but am confused how to install.
  i can't find a good simple answer for my problem, all the manuals are fairly complicated, so please don't tell me RTFM.</p>
  
  <p>my problem is i set up a repository at C:\svn (using create repository here).
  Then I right click a folder containing my files and say import. I choose the repository "file://C:\svn" and then it gives me an errors saying "unable to open repository"</p>
  
  <p>What should I do?</p>
