The 'better' part about subversion is that it understands directories
as projects and holds the contents together during atomic operations
like commits. If you put your documents in directories and branch
the directory instead of doing individual file operations, you'll have
a place to switch to when you want to access the contents of that
branch directory. For source code work, this almost always makes
sense. If you are working on some random collection of individual
files with no natural structure for branch copies it might not.
