Well written, a very clear presentation!
One "best practices" note: in your example of 'svn copy' on page 2
(where you're talking about tagging and branching), you demonstrate a
branch copy, but invoked within a working copy. I think it's more
common to invoke it directly on URLs, though, for example
$ svn cp -r42 http://blah/repos/trunk/x http://blah/repos/branches/y
In fact, as far as I know that's the only way we've ever made a branch
or tag copy in the Subversion repository, so far. It uses no local
disk space, and it specifies the revision precisely.
