title: SVN error when trying to commit to remote host
body: <p>I'm using svn on OS X, and am able to check items out of the repository of an svn server on my university campus (I am at home). I am now trying to commit files from my local working directory. I use the following command:</p>
  
  <pre><code>svn commit -m "First commit" file://hostname.ac.uk/directory/project/
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>where hostname is the same as I use to successfully check out items. However, the following error message is returned:</p>
  
  <pre><code>svn: Must give local path (not URL) as the target of a commit
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It would be worth knowing that I have never committed anything to svn before. I wondered if the message implied that to commit I have to be physically connected to the svn server, i.e. on campus?</p>
