You can create your repository in any folder you want. It doesn't have to be in a folder named trunk. Trunk is usually a folder that you create insider your repository. I assume you want to do this all locally. So, create your repository. md TempRepoRoot cd TempRepoRoot svnadmin create MyRepo Once you do that you want to do a check out. md Projects (probably in your user folder) cd Projects (probably in your user folder) Now do your checkout with the file protocol: svn co file:///c:/%HOMEPATH%/TempRepoRoot/MyRepo MyWorkingCopy Now you have checked out your repo you can create some folders: Cd MyWorkingCopy Svn mkdir trunk Svn mkdir branches Svn mkdir tags Then, check that in... Svn ci -m "Initialize repo" Now you probably want to checkout trunk, or perhaps switch to trunk. Up to you. Cd .. svn co file:///c:/%HOMEPATH%/TempRepoRoot/MyRepo/trunk ProjectTrunk Then, copy all your files into there. Do an svn add and Bob's your uncle.
