When it does that, the client is also the server, so you don't have a separate server process running. (This is possible because SVN is actually implemented as a library, and the library contains the code for both. You could perhaps use SVN as a library instead of a separate process if you want to integrate it into an application and use it as the application's version controlled datastore.) You are correct that three slashes are needed with file:/// -- the first two are for the file:// URL scheme and the third is the beginning of the path, which begins with the root "/" directory.
