Yes, the project name is code.  The howto isn't quite complete.  For 
instance when it issues the svn import statement, it isn't clear that 
you should be in the directory where your project files reside.  You'll 
be quite unhappy if you issue that command from your home directory.  ;)

You may create as many repositories as you wish.  Use the svnadmin 
command to create them. 

Within a repository you may have as many projects as you wish, usually 
the project contains three directories, trunk, branches and tags.

Review the quickstart section of this manual: 
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.4/index.html

Actually review as much of the manual as you can stand, it's pretty well 
written.

Any specific questions feel free to ask.  I'm a big proponent of svn. 

Jim.
