David, have I missed the problem? You have: StartHere Directories Files As you like You have read the arguments, you are learning, so you don't rock the boat, you make MyWWW trunk branches tags StartHere Directories Files As you like On your server svnadmin create /path/to/MyWWW I use /home/svn, I also use ssh, vi by saying this in .subversion/config [helpers] editor-cmd = vi [tunnels] myssh = /usr/bin/ssh -p 2346 -l svnuser svn import MyWWW svn+myssh://The.Server/home/svn/MyWWW There are oodles of access mechanisms, choose. Now check out your ORIGINAL unfiddled tree and start fiddling eg rm -fr MyWWW && svn co svn+myssh://The.Server/home/svn/MyWWW Fiddle I see no problem.
