svn project creation problems

[Tom Allison <ta...@tacocat.net>]

I'm trying to configure my svn repository but it seems I am completely unable to 
create any additional projects without going in directly and manually creating 
the directories necessary to get the project underway.

I've followed as many examples and such as I can find and they all end up in 
approximately the same spot:

svn import . svn://localhost/
svn: No repository found in 'svn://localhost'

svn import . svn://localhost/testpile
svn: No repository found in 'svn://localhost/testpile'

however:
svn checkout svn://localhost/depot/
works like a charm everytime...  So there is something there.

Additionally:
svn import login svn://localhost/login
svn: No repository found in 'svn://localhost/login'
svn: Your commit message was left in a temporary file:
svn:    'svn-commit.tmp'


or

svn import login svn://localhost/
svn: No repository found in 'svn://localhost'
svn: Your commit message was left in a temporary file:
svn:    'svn-commit.2.tmp'

So far I'm managed to fail the examples in the Pragmatic Version Control book 
and the online version of the subversion book.

Under the hood of my svn repository (permissions and such)

repository location is
drwxrwx---  3 svnadmin subversion   4096 2006-09-04 11:29 svn

/etc/passwd
svnadmin:x:113:1005::/home/svn:/bin/false

/etc/group
subversion:x:1005:tallison,svnadmin


I'm not sure what to look for next.  This is really frustrating.

Subversion has no notion of a "project." There are just Subversion  
repositories, which contain files and directories. You can elect to  
either create a separate repository for each project, which you then  
have to do manually with "svnadmin create <repo>", or you can store  
all projects in a single repository, in which case then you can just  
import into it which will create a new directory in the repository  
for your new project. There are arguments for and against both  
strategies; you'll have to decide which you want to use. It's not  
super-easy, but also not impossible, to change from single-repo to  
multi-repo, or vice-versa, later.
