I've recently converted a CVS repo using cvs2svn however I'm confused as to the output. After running the tool, it appears it successfully ran, but there's no files in my SVN.
Here's the output from the tool after it ran.. it looks good. However when I go to my repo.. there's nothing there.

My output directory looks like this:
README.txt conf db format hooks locks
The readme says:
This is a Subversion repository; use the 'svnadmin' tool to examine it. Do not add, delete, or modify files here unless you know how to avoid corrupting the repository.
But there's no files in it. When I try to use TortiseSVN I get the error "Redirect cycle detected for URL"
SVN doesn't work like a CVS repository, it's based on a database, so you cannot see exploring your directory where are the files, if you're on the machine where your svn repository is located, try to do the next:
In your command line, and you will see the data on your repository, you can explore it by using ls with any path inside the repository for example.
