Perhaps some of your questions could be answered in the Subversion book:
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/. It is the defacto user guide for
subversion.

Subject: Some basic svn questions.
Being a newbie I have some badic questions about svn.
Before I ask them, I notice you have a FAQ, but that FAQ is more focused
on the project then on how SVN is used. It might be a good idea to make
a FAQ for SVN users. If anyone does, then I believe these questions
belong in there,
1) Is there an equivalent to CVSROOT to specify the repository without
typing it in on each commandline.
2) Is there an equivalent of .cvsignore?
3) Sometimes I have questions about how to do something in a project.
I create a small subdirectory, and make a test case for the
feature in there. Is there a way of not having that subdirectory
checked in?
4) Sometimes I wind up in a circumstance where I do not have access
to the repository. For example I might need to look stuff up to
get something working. So I go to the nearest university library
and work off the laptop there. Is there a way to copy the
repository and sync the two repositories at appropriate times?
--------------------------
Now for a couple of whigns.
1) Some times I download a project and discover that it is a cvs
project instead of an svn project. I don't mind projects which
are derivetive, but I want them to work with svn.
2) Some projects I look at take you to a place where they have a
list of files. Why can't tarballs be provided.
Thanks
