No problem.
In fact, I want to write this book in a "cookbook" style.
Just like the famous cookbooks from O'reilly.
So the name might be "Subversion Cookbook" or something like that.
And, this is a Traditional Chinese book, so the title should never
conflict with the original one.
Thanks for your suggestion.
Tom
