Answer 1

From your project directory (the one you want to move into your repository), right-click and select TortoiseSVN -> Import...

I think the problem is that you are only using 2 slashes for your file: URL. Try file:///C:/svn.

Also, from memory you can't import directly into a directory that already exists, so you might need to import into file:///C:/svn/trunk.

This won't make the current directory into a working copy. You'll need to go ahead and check out the project into another directory so that the connections between your project and SVN can be created.

Good luck.
