Create a Repository
To store projects in Subversion, first you must create a repository. This must be done to a local drive on a local machine. Creating a repository on a network drive is not supported. To create a repository type:

svnadmin create /path/to/repository 

Add a New Project - svn import
To add a project, the Subversion documentation suggests that you create a directory structure like the following:
A root project directory contains three subdirectories, branches, tags, and trunk. Your files and directories are stored under the trunk directory.
Create the directories as described. Assuming the project directory is a subdirectory of the current directory, you would enter the following command

svn import project file:///repository_name/project -m "First Import"

Checking Out a Project - svn checkout

To start using the version control features check out a project into your local working directory. This is done with the following command:

svn checkout file:///repository_name/project/trunk project

Network

svn checkout http://host_name/svn_dir/repository_name/project/trunk project

In these examples, project is the name of the directory where you want to store the checked out project on your local file system.

file:// это для локального репозитория. Тебе же похоже нужно будет юзать http://
