I'm thinking of committing the following. Comments?
[[[
Improvements to the book.
* doc/book/book/ch01.xml
Split the list of programs into client-side and server-side.
* doc/book/book/ch03.xml
Fix an example of "svn resolved" usage.
* doc/book/book/ch08.xml
Use simpler syntax for indicating repeatable arguments, to match the built-in
help (issue 1377, r6525).
Move "propset" and "revert" subcommands to restore alphabetical order.
Fix simple errors in a few synopsis lines.
Demote the warning that "svnadmin" refers to the repository by a path rather
than a URL to a normal paragraph, because no danger is involved and to bring
it in line with the corresponding note for "svnlook".
* doc/book/book/appc.xml
Fix mark-up of an email address ("<email>" instead of "<address>").
