I now realise why hardly anyone uses Open Source software: it sucks!
I installed TortoiseSVN right clicked the desktop and tried to create a repository. I have done this with a previous release of TortoiseSVN, so I know what I was trying to do.
One would have thought that the creators of this allegedly good version control system would have at least tested it enough to know of this mis-feature.
Right now I am still searching for an answer, but Google is useless when it comes to obscure software.
If anyone finds out, please let me know in the comments.

I think you'll find both the Subversion and TortoiseSVN developer communities to be both quite friendly and quite responsive to bug reports. See http://tortoisesvn.net/report_a_bug for instructions on reporting what you believe to be a problem with TortoiseSVN.
Hi Michael,
I have since learned how to use SVN from the command line so I am not going to mess around with tortoise svn as much.
SVN is quality software but using it for the first time is a jarring experience. The fact that I have been using Windows all my life makes it even harder.
I would advise new users to just learn how to use svn from the command line, it is much simpler and transparent.
