We have found a number of users do this with TortoiseSVN. They appear to be doing a "Create repository here", followed by an "Import..." to the URL they were given, then finally understand what they really wanted to do was a "SVN Checkout..." "Checkout" seems to be a foreign concept (and apparently scary one) to some new non-technical users and they seem to struggle their way through a number of other more "inviting" steps before they find the right one. I've contemplated suggesting to the TortoiseSVN developers that they should add a warning if an user tries to do an "Import..." with a directory that contains an fsfs repository structure. Kevin R.
