Yup, that was it: I wasn't trying to sync my repo, I was trying to sync my wc; luckily, I'm cleaning out as much of my stuff as I can find and I found a folder on my C: drive called SVN, and inside that, a folder called Repo--when I used that for file:/// everything worked; of course, now it's uploading the whole 1210 commit history one commit at a time! Ouch...I now see why Bert said "w/ a bit little less time pressure." Well, I have a meeting at two: hopefully it'll run long, and if it doesn't finish by the end of that, I'll just leave my computer running as I run out the door! :-)
