What's wrong with my using svn this way?

I started svn server this way:

[user@vps303 trunk开发者_如何学运维db]# svnserve -d -r /repositories/ [user@vps303 trunkdb]# ls /repositories/ trunk

But when I connect to svn://domain.name it reports no such repository,

but when I connect to svn://domain.name/trunk, it's OK.

How can I connect to svn://domain.name ?

You have to start your subversion server like this:

svnserve -d -r /repositories/trunk

However, this only makes sense if you need just one repository and it could lead to confusion except your project's name is "trunk".
