a file system tree???

[GreyGeek <jk...@neb.rr.com>]

The documentation on Subversion says that the repository will have a file 
structure just like the system does.

"Subversion is a centralized system for sharing information. At its core is a
repository, which is a central store of data. The repository stores 
information in the form of a file system tree a typical hierarchy of 
 files and directories. "

One method of creating a repository is given as
svnadmin create --config-dir arg
where 'arg' is the file system template you've created as a pattern for svn.

I created the following on my W2K workstation:
E:\tmp\branches\HAP\jlk
E:\tmp\trunk\HAP\jlk
E:\tmp\tags\R1_0

and used svnadmin create --config-dir file:///E:/tmp

I expected to see
E:\svnrepo\branches\HAP\jlk
E:\svnrepo\trunk\HAP\jlk
E:\svnrepo\tags\R1_0

What I did see was
E:\svnrepo\conf
E:\svnrepo\dav
E:\svnrepo\db
E:\svnrepo\format
E:\svnrepo\hooks
E:\svnrepo\locks
E:\svnrepo\README.txt

The actual repository is stored in berkeley DB files.  The repository is 
represented to you, the user, through the svn clients, *as* a tree.  The 
files themselves are not stored exactly as they are on the disk.

That explanation in the doc is referring to the repository conceptually, 
it is not a description of how to access files that house the repository.

From a working directory using TortoiseSVN  I can 'browse repo'  and see
