I'm trying to set up a local repository so that all commitments are copied to the local destination, not a remote server. I followed this tutorial.

What I did.

  1. Created a folder named "SVN_Repo" under C:\Documents and Settings[user-name]\My Documents\
  2. Right clicked on the folder and chose TortoiseSVN -> Create repository here
  3. Clicked OK in the pop up dialog asking whether to create a directory structure.
  4. Created a folder named Repos for the local destination, under E:\
  5. Right clicked on the SVN_Repo folder and chose SVN Checkout...
  6. Typed file:///E:\repos in the URL of repository field and clicked the OK button.

    enter image description here

  7. What I got:

    Checkout from file:///E:/repos, revision HEAD, Fully recursive, Externals included

    Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'file:///E:/repos'

    Unable to open an ra_local session to URL

    Unable to open repository 'file:///E:/repos'

    enter image description here

I must be doing something wrong. Could somebody point it out? Thanks.
