That's what I've been missing!

That's what confusing me. 

I remember someone saying I shouldnt do that and that's what threw me. 

So! Without doing anything stupid and after stopping, sitting and thinking here is what I believe I should be doing. Please correct me if I am wrong-

Create a local folder on my Mac and using scplugin checkout my repo to there. 

I am then going to delete everything in the tags folder and the trunk folder. 

Then I will copy my plugin files in to the trunk folder. 

I will make sure my plugin header and readme has a tag of 0.1. 

I will create a folder called 0.1 under tags (in the finder) and copy everything in trunk to that folder. 

I will then commit the whole thing back up. 

Is that right?

Thank you for your help Otto and everyone else. It must be frustrating having someone like me asking questions the answers to which are so straight forward to you. I appreciate your patience! When I have this sorted I will write a blog post about it so hopefully it can help others in my position. 

Thanks
