Now, you can import from any client. Data will be written to the 
repository in the proper format by cvs itself. Be sure your connection 
works.

When you create a repository it has no files but those within CVSROOT, 
you can "connect" to it anyway. I do not use Tortoise, so I do not know 
how it handles an empty repository.

files with extension ,v are used by cvsnt to mantain versions, it's not 
your task to create them. The first thing you have to do after setting 
up a repository is to *import* something within. *Do not copy* anything, 
  the repository should be a sort of black box, don't mess around with it.

It could be done in different ways, plus ACLs at the repository level. 
If you are a newbie, first learn how to 
import/checkout/update/commit/add, then you you will be ready to learn 
permission. Go step by step, or you won't get out of it alive... :)
