version control with TortoiseSVN without SVN Server

If you only have a limited number of users, and do not need remote access, you can use Tortoise without a subversion server. This makes set-up much easier.
Steps:
1. Install TortoiseSVN software
2. Open Windows Explorer.
3. Create a empty folder as your repository, this can be local or on network drive.
4. Right click the empty folder, and then click on "Create repository here".
5. Then you can use TortoiseSVN--Repository browser to manage your repository directory. Maybe you can add such directories.
-project_a
-trunk
-branches
-tags
6. After the first 5 steps. you can do any operations just like the repository on a SVN Server.
