Importing into a Windows repos

[Ch...@qimonda.com]

I'm not much of a Windoze user...

I created my repos using..
> svnadmin create c:\svnroot\repos

Now I want to import my c:\temp\proj dir. I do
> svn import c:\temp\proj file://c:\svnroot\repos --message "blah"

and I get...
svn: Unable to open an ra_local session to URL
svn: Local URL 'file://c:%5Csvnroot%5Crepos' contains only a hostname,
no path

What's the correct syntax?

You need 3 slashes for file (file:///).

You may also want to use regular slashes (/) instead of backslashes
(\) so it isn't accidentally interpreted as an escape character.  I
just tested both \ and / as directory delimiters in Windows and it
handled it OK, but you can use / everywhere and svn will be OK with
it.

svn import c:\temp\proj file:///c:/svnroot/repos --message "blah"
should work for you.
