I downloaded and installed visualsvn server, visualsvn and tortioseSVN.

The installation web well. I set the repository root as e:\Repositories. Once installed I created a repository called Test, and added users. All is well so far.

I already had a test project created in visual studio (2008), located at d:\projects\test so I opened the project is visual studio and selected the VisualSVN -> Add Solution to SVN Menu item.

Where it says "the content of this folder will be added to subversion:" I left it as
d:\projects\test and clicked next. I chose existing repository, and typed in the url for the repository I created after install (https:/mycomputer:443/svn/test/trunk).

It then said "Folder 'd:\projects\test' will be bound to 'https:/mycomputer:443/svn/test/trunk'." Then I clicked finished. But I'm thinking that now 'd:\projects\test' is the repository source, when really it is my working location. What should I have done differently?

A working copy has a .svn directory on every folder plus all your original files.

A repository has a README.txt file where it states "This is a Subversion repository" plus a format file and several directories (conf, dav, db, hooks and locks) but no visible trace of your original files.
