I want a table of contents that lists each svn command individually.
Your patch puts tables of contents in subsections as well as at the beginning of each chapter, and this seems to force the generation of a table of svn commands as a side effect, but I do not much like having so many tables of contents.
So my vote is +0 for this patch.
The problem is that it is hard to find a particular subcommand. One reason for this is the lack of a table of contents for them, and another is that the name of each subcommand is displayed as normal text, although the word "Name" is in a large font. It would be better if the actual command name could be displayed in a more visible style, which might be achieved by making it a <sect3> or whatever. I would prefer that, if there is some way that that can be done while remaining compatible with O'Reilly's rules. Maybe O'Reilly is aware of the problem and has a work-around or updated rules.

I see that this second variable is not used, so I have just deleted it.
