Hi,

        I'm just starting to explore using svn.  I have downloaded and
read /Version Control with Subversion For Subversion 1.5 (Compiled
from r3305)/.  I have installed svn and svnserve on my home computer
(running openSuSE 11.0), and it appears to be done right, as far as I
can see.
        I'm using svnserve mostly for practice; I realize that I didn't
have to set that up for a local repository.  Also, because my
personal partition is larger than my root partition, I have svnserve
pointing to a location there.
        So I run svnadmin create, and it seems to have worked, but when
I try to add entities to the repository I get these messages:

svn: '.' is not a working copy
svn: Can't open file '.svn/entries': No such file or directory

        I'm guessing that I set up something in the wrong order or
something.  If I want to start over, how do I get rid of the current,
empty repository?

        Thanks,

Leslie
