[TxMt] newbie subversion question

I am running Leopard and have set up a respository using some step by step instructions in the command line.

I then open up my project in TextMate and want to commit my code to the repository. It tells me that my code is not a working copy, so I say ok, lets checkout. Then it asks me for svn+ssh:// something so I type in the file path of the repository and a big error message thus...

"Status File ssh: Could not resolve hostname Library: nodename nor servname provided, or not known svn: Connection closed unexpectedly The file /Users/lucy/Sites/wed2/Repository does not exist."

Can someone point me in the direction of the right page in the manual that explains how I should do this?

thanks Lucy
