resetting revision back to zero
For some reason, when I loaded a new project into Subversion, it chose
revision 7 to be my starting point. I have no idea what might be in
previous versions, if anything. I would like to reset my project revision
number to zero. How can I do this? Thanks.

OK, thanks, I'll check. I may have done one thing I can remember to make
the revisions go up. I didn't do it six times but who knows. Thanks again.

You seem to have done 6 other things in the repository before
importing this project. "svn log -v -r1:6 url://of/your/repository"
will show you what those things are.
Subversion does not have per-project revision numbers. (Subversion
also has no concept of a "project"; it just versions files and
directories.) Subversion has per-repository revision numbers. Whether
you make just one repository to hold all your projects, or individual
repositories for each project, is up to you. I prefer the former, but
others prefer the latter. There are pros and cons to each approach.

Huh, I really didn't do anything but install Subversion before I imported my
project. But that's OK I'll have to live with it.

Subversion didn't "choose" to make revision 7 your starting point for
"some reason." When you performed the import, there had been 6
previous commits to that repository. Therefore your import was commit
#7.
Create a new repository and import your project into that. You can't
reset the revision number of an existing repository to any arbitrary
value.

No, how would that work? Do I have to re-import my project? Or export it?
I'm not totally familiar with all the Subversion commands.
