Be aware of a difference between Git and Subversion: In Git, there is only a "repository" (which contains both the history in the .git directory and all source files). In Subversion, the "repository" is a specific directory (containing the history for each file) and then you checkout a separate directory "working copy" where you have the actual source files. So you need to do cd /var svnadmin create test-repo svn import test-svn file:///var/test-repo You can the check out a new working copy svn co file:///var/repo wc Hope this helps!
