Re: svn commit: r1815234 - /subversion/site/staging/quick-start.html

Hi Pavel,

Thanks for adding this.
I've spotted a couple of typo's, and some other small things. See below.

You should probably add this section to the TOC too.

Looking at that TOC currently (not related to this revision): it's a
bit strange right now. It references four "h2" sections, and one "h3"
section ("Branching and tagging"). It should probably either only
reference the h2 sections, or also include all the h3 sections (but
indented in the TOC, so it's clear which are h2 and which are h3
sections).

I'd suggest adding another blurb of explanation here, to explain how
you're going to "convert" it. Something like: "Convert the current
directory into a working copy of the trunk/ of your repository, by
checking out the empty trunk and 'svn add'ing your files to it."

I'm wondering why you'd need '--force' here. Is that necessary? Maybe
newbees will wonder what it's for (or adopt this as a habit without
knowing what it does, which is even worse).

Similar as above, add a small explanation what you mean by "convert".
