If your repository is on your local system, you can use file: instead  
of svn+ssh:.

So in your case, you probably want to checkout file:///Users/lucy/Sites/wed2/Repository 
. I've never tried to checkout into an existing directory that already  
has files in it, etc. I'm not sure exactly what you've done so far or  
what you're wanting to accomplish, but I generally do something like  
this when moving an existing project into Subversion.

   1. Create the repository with `svnadmin`.
   2. Use `svn import` to commit the existing project directory to the  
repository.
   3. Delete, rename, or move the project directory.
   4. Use `svn checkout` to "recreate" the project directory as a  
working copy.
   5. Open the new directory as a TextMate project.
