Sure, I just thought it was "how it was done".

Here is the patch in one file, made relative to the 'ui' folder. There's
more to come once I'm clear of my flu and the functional changes are
committed so they can be described.

Comments are appreciated.

+<body>
+ <h1>Typical work cycle: Edit, Update, Commit</h1>
+
+ Often with Subversion (or most other SCM systems), once you have
+ checked out your project,
+ or shared it, you work in a simple cycle:
+
+ <ol>
+ <li>Edit</li>
+ <li>Update</li>
+ <li>Commit</li>
+ </ol>
+
+ Subclipse makes working with this cycle easy by combining the Team features in Eclipse
+ with the special features in Subversion.
+
+ <h2>Editing your working copy</h2>
+ When editing your working copy, you can observe the markings on the resource
+ (i.e. file, folder, etc.) found in the <em>Navigator</em> view (and views that are based on
+ the same information, like the Java Development Tools' <em>Package Explorer</em>.)
+
+ <p>
+ Eclipse will catch your changes and refactorings, as long as you use
+ Eclipse to work with your working copy. You may contrast this with working with the Subversion
+ command line tool which need to be told about every rename, delete and move operation that
+ you do in the working copy. Subclipse does this for you.
+
+ <p>One exception from this is adding resources: The new file(s) or folder(s) you create
+ must be added to your working copy, using the command "Add to Source Control" found in the
+ "Team" menu available in the context menu for the added resource(s).
+ If you do not do this, Subclipse will display a question mark (?) next to the resource,
+ meaning that an unknown file is present in your working copy.
+ Once added however, the resource is marked with an asterisk (*)
+
+ <p>Eventually, when you commit your changes, this marking will disappear.
+
+ <h2>Updating your working copy with other people's committed changes</h2>
+
+ <p>While your are working, editing, debugging, etc., others (if you are working in a team)
+ may commit changes to the project. To keep up, you have to update whenever you are ready
+ to do so, e.g. when your changes are stable. You should also always update immediately
+ before your commit your work.
+
+ <h2>Committing your changes to the repository</h2>
+
+ <p>Once you are pleased with all your changes, it is time to commit them to the repository.
+ Subversion will never let you commit changes that are out-of-sync, and will force you to
+ update in the event of a collision (TODO: get new image of this).

+ It's as easy as right-clicking in the QuickDiff marker line to the immediate left of Eclipse's
+ text editor(s).
+
+ <p align="center"><img src="../images/quickdiff-reference.jpg"/></p>
+
+ Now, you can just hover the mouse over the QuickDiff marker line to see what was changed

+ <h1>Using the synchronize view</h1>
+
+ <p>The synchronize view is useful if you want to see the overall status of your
+ working copy against the state of the repository, including any updates.
+ The view focuses on inbound and outbound changes, where <em>inbound</em> changes
+ are the changes that others have committed and are coming in to your working copy
+ when synchronizing. The <em>outbound</em> changes are the ones you did to your
+ repository as a result of editing, removing or adding resources.
+
+ <p>In short, the synchronize view offers a different way of updating and commiting

+ as an Eclipse user.
